1. Where can I get EZ info on basic JavaScript on the web?


2. What is the format for a simple if, then, else statement?

Ex. (I know this is the wrong thing)

var text
text = prompt("Question", "thing that appears")
(this is the part)
if(text = "certain thing") then
(action)
else
(no action)
end if

Thanks! -- superjoe30 --

your if statement should be like this:

 var text
 text = prompt("Question", "thing that appears")
 (this is the part)
 if(text = "certain thing") 
  {
 (action)
 }
  else
 {
   (no action)
 }

I believe the double equals is necessary on an IF statement...

if(text == "certain thing")

BTW, the ELSE statement isn't necessary. I mean that you may only have action to if the IF statement is TRUE, you don't have do open the ELSE statement and close it without performing any actions.

: your if statement should be like this:
:

:  var text
:  text = prompt("Question", "thing that appears")
:  (this is the part)
:  if(text = "certain thing") 
:   {
:  (action)
:  }
:   else
:  {
:    (no action)
:  }
