to all you javascript people that responded to this post and didn't
suggest to change the || to &&, please read my tip.

you can test this (in case it doesn't make sense) in your language of
choice. i used VBScript.

If(True AND True) Then
	Response.Write("True")
Else
	Response.Write("False")
End If

and so on...

<tip type="logical AND and OR" author="chris parker">
note to all programmers:

when using a conditional statement that must result in true when both
cases are the same you must use a logical AND operator, not OR.

when using a conditional statement that must result in true if only one
case is true you must use a logical OR operator, not AND.

True AND True = True
False AND True = False
True AND False = False
False AND False = False

True OR True = True
True OR False = True
False OR True = True
False OR False = False
</tip>

chris.

p.s. if i'm wrong about those statements please beat me up.
