[Javascript] multiple ifs on one line syntax

Thu Jun 6 08:48:15 CDT 2002

Hi,

I left my O'Reilly Javascript book at home (DOH!) and am having trouble with
the syntax for two IF statements on one line using either AND or OR to
separate them. The following statement using AND generates an error:

if(form.TransType.options[form.TransType.selectedIndex].value == 'S') and
(form.RecipientAgency.value=='P')   {
...

similarly, when I try using OR like the following example, the same problem
occurs:

if(form.TransType.options[form.TransType.selectedIndex].value == 'R') OR
(form.TransType.options[form.TransType.selectedIndex].value == 'S') {
...

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
