Duh! I've been staring at this too long; thanks for catching that.

It looks like your syntax for if/else statements is incorrect..

You have

           if(...) {
             ...
           else {
             ...
           }
           }


and it should be

           if(...) {
             ...
           } else {
             ...
           }

See the difference?
