if else used in javascript questions about limitations

F

Frank H. Shaw

In JavaScript

if (expression) {
statements if express is true
} else {
statements if express is false
}

The question is if the if else will not support only one line in the the {
will let more then one line if i use braces is this correct and can the
statements be in HTML unstead of javascript.

I THANK YOU ALL FOR MY TREADS I HAVE BEEN POSTING AND EVERY ONE HAS BEEN
MOST HELPFUL.

Yes, only one statement is supported without curly braces.
And no html is not a programming language.

I was told that you can intermix javascript and HTML I know HTML is a markup
and not a programing language - the question was how can HTML be intermix
which would be in the curly braces just put the HTML markup there or do I
have to surond with any tags ti indactae its HTML markup inside the curly
braces.

Yes, you can mix to a certain extent. Forinstance by having an onclick
event tied to say an image or a link but you can't have html in a
javascript function. You can also use a JavaScript to write text to a
page using document.write(text to write) including html tags.
The tutorial I pointed you to will quickly learn you the basics of
Javascript so you know what is possible and how to write simple
javascripts.

CAN this line on HTML markup be contained in javscript below as it is below?

<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="212-E">

If it CANNOT you said something about using - write text to a
page using document.write(text to write) including html tags. Does that mean
that the line above of HTML markup be written on the fly using document.write
which would be the same as if it was contained in the form is that a way of
getting around the problem. Would you show me a example of how to do that.
THANKS

Hi Frank,

That is correct. You may also insert HTML in DOM compliant browsers using JavaScript and the DOM.
