John, Thanks,
Far -----Original Message----- From: John Vieth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 9:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ASP] Javascript Questions I just skimmed your message, so I'm not sure if this is the *only* problem, but I noticed that in the following line of code... > if (strCity = "Atlanta") { alert ("Atlanta") } ...in your conditional statement you're using the assignment operator (=) and not the equals comparison operator (==). Maybe you *want* to do that, but usually people only do that by mistake. In this case, the conditional statement will always evaluate to true, because you will always be able to assign "Atlanta" to strCity. Hope that helps. - John > -----Original Message----- > From: The Professional Network > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 5:49 PM > To: ASP Developers > Subject: [ASP] Javascript Questions > > > I started to convert a simple VBS validation script to > JavaScript, when I came across a syntax problem that has me > buffaloed.
