Javascript does. Switch in java also works with chars. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Yee, Richard K,,DMDCWEST [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 11:48 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: switch statement

An if-else if-else block can easily implement the functionality of a switch statement.
