    WHYY isn't this working?
    « on: November 28, 2009, 01:30:45 PM »
    Code: [Select]
    <html>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    {

    var x=20;
    var y=10;
    if x==20
    {
    document.write("TRUE STATEMENT");
    }
    else
    {
    document.write("FALSE STATEMENT");
    }

    }
    </script>
    </html>

    Wait, wait and wait. ;D

    Head over to W3Schools and learn HTML first. Then move onto CSS and finally javascript.

      I have already learnt HTML pretty much completely a while ago. And css I know a little of. I'm doing fine with Javascript so far...

      Why is it not working? You want me to put it in <body> of the text, or what are you trying to say here?

      A HTML doc needs at least a starting and ending html tag and a starting and ending body tag.

      So yes, you need to put in <body> tag.

        var x=20;
        var y=10;

        document.write("FALSE STATEMENT");
        }

        }
        </script>

        You actually put in too many parentheses in there.

        Unless it's a function which will be called later, you can use it this way:
        Code: [Select]
        <script type="text-javascript">
        var x=20;
        var y=10;
        if x==20
        {
        document.write("TRUE STATEMENT");
        }
        else
        {
        document.write("FALSE STATEMENT");
        }
        </script>

        javascript is so specific geez
        If that's the case, then forget what I said about learning PHP or ASP.

          {
          document.write("TRUE STATEMENT");
          }

          {
          document.write("FALSE STATEMENT");
          }
          </script>

          Do I not need parentheses around the condition? Like that.

          if (x==20)

          And I don't mind javascript being specific I actually like it, I just gotta get used to it, and stop making silly mistakes....

          That's what happens when you're always copyin' 'n' pastin'.
