FWIW, strictly speaking, that isn't altogether true. For example, I can do this:
document.getElementById('someID').title =
navigator.platform == 'MacPPC'
? 'command click to do some stuff'
: 'ctrl click to do some stuff';
Or, assunming someNumber and someOtherNumber are numbers, even this:
span.appendChild(
someNumber < someOtherNumber
? document.createTextNode('some text')
: document.createTextNode('some other text')
);
IOW, the result of ternary statement dosn't necessarily have to be assigned to a
variable.
