[Javascript] select-case construct

[Muchacho, Laurent (TWIi London)]

Yes you can but in javascript it be called switch 

switch (i) {
   case "Oranges" : 
      document.write("Oranges are $0.59 a pound.<BR>"); 
      break; 
   case "Apples" : 
      document.write("Apples are $0.32 a pound.<BR>"); 
      break; 
   case "Bananas" : 
      document.write("Bananas are $0.48 a pound.<BR>"); 
      break; 
   case "Cherries" : 
      document.write("Cherries are $3.00 a pound.<BR>"); 
      break; 
   default : 
      document.write("Sorry, we are out of " + i + ".<BR>"); 
} 
document.write("Is there anything else you'd like?<BR>");

Subject: [Javascript] select-case construct


I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I can't find the message or an
example in any of my books. Can you use a select-case construct in
javascript?

Pseudocode example:

select case prodStatus

Case "New"
//do this

Case "In Progress"
//do this

Case else
//do this

End select

Thanks for any help available.

Esther
