[Javascript] Help please

Thu Jan 24 13:15:11 CST 2002

Correct me if I'm wrong but the line

var sport, times= prompt("Which sport like to do best, skiing, skydiving,
basketball, or football?", "Please choose one from the list")
prompt("How often do you do this, daily, weekly, or monthly?", "Please
choose one from the list")

It's is only variable times that gets an value, is it not !?

And then later on

switch(sport, times){

according to Netscapes Javscript language guide the syntax is
switch(expression) and an expression is explained:

"An expression is any valid set of literals, variables, operators, and
expressions that evaluates to a single value; the value can be a number, a
string, or a logical value."

A single value that is, so ... your switchstatement cannot work, if I
understand the manual correctly that is.

Regards

Mikael

  Could you tell what I am doing wrong? I want both variables to be
evaluated using the switch statement. Why is it not working?
