Hi Richard,
You may be over-analyzing this. If you have strings to compare, you just stick 'em in there.
switch(myStringValue) {
case "planes":
alert("It's planes!!!");
break;
}
On the other hand, if you're expecting that switch variable to be the ID of the appropriate element, you might not even need a switch statement (i.e. you'd just feed the value into your document.getElementById method and go).
Cheers,
Peter

Ok I understand all the basics of the switch/case item.
Basically a more structured "if" array.
My problem is, understanding how to activate it.
In my menu of , which could be quite long, where and how do you state
what "case" is to be a certain value?"
I plan using string literals, such as "planes", "trains" and that.
For instance:
Do I trigger the function with getelementybyID routine or what?
If anyone can come with a short example as to how to do this, I'd appreciate
it.
