Probably simple...

Hi,

I'm new to HTML, JavaScript and all that so can anyone
tell me the correct Javascript syntax to achieve the
following.....

If condition true then
display page1.htm
else
display page2.htm
end if

Appreciate your help!

Hi Jim

2 methods - the shorthand
<script type="text/javascript">
location.href=(somevar=='somevalue')?'Page1.htm':'Page2.htm';
</script>
or the longhand
<script type="text/javascript">
if(somevar=='somevalue'){
location.href='Page1.htm';
else{
location.href='Page2.htm';
}
</script>

Don't forget that in javascript to test if a value is equal to something
else we use 2 equal signs == eg
if(yourname=='Jim') if(yourname='Jim') would always evaluate to true
whatever the value of yourname - this catches nearly everyone out at some
time
