[Javascript] select-case construct (amended)

[Esther_Strom at hmco.com]

Thanks to both of you for your help. Now another question: is there any
reason I can't use an if/else inside a case?


This works:

switch(selStatus){
               case "Image from Design":
                    if(document.forms[0].toDesign.value==""){
                         document.forms[0].toDesign.value=todayDate;
                    break master
                    }


This doesn't:

switch(selStatus){
               case "Image from Design":
                    if(document.forms[0].toDesign.value==""){
                         document.forms[0].toDesign.value=todayDate;
                    else {
document.forms[0].toDesign.value=document.forms[0].toDesign.value + "," +
todayDate;
                    }
                    break master
                    }

It's fine until I add the "else"; then it causes a syntax error. Am I
missing something really obvious here?

Thanks,

Esther

switch expr {
   CASE label:
   ....
}


should work for NS 4.x and above according to my "Pure JavaScript."

Forgot to mention...this needs to work in NS4.7 for PC and Mac.


Thanks.

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
