if statement help 1

[evr72]

hello,
I have a an asp page that shows a view of a record, if you click on edit then the script below is activated, the script lives in the edit page

<script language="JavaScript">
temp= window.prompt ("Please Type Your Name" , "");
if (temp=="")  { window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mywebsite.com/myblankpage.html";}[/URL]
</script>

right now in the example above, if the temp is blank then it takes you to a page asking you to enter a name, if the temp is not blank then it sends you to edit the record

what I am trying to do is to add users and be able to redirect them to a specific record

if (temp=="Joe", "Sam", "sam", "joe")  
{ window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mywebsite.com/editpage.asp?id=23";}[/URL]

not sure if this is possible

thanks!!!

You can either use the || (or) operator, or use a switch statement.

if(temp=="Joe" [red]||[/red] temp=="Sam" || temp=="sam"){
do something...
}

Switch statement:

switch(temp){
case "Joe":
do something....
break;
case "Sam":
do something else
break;
...
}

thanks vacunita,

got it.

for the re-direction?

on my asp page I have a Dim IngRecordNo right before my sql statement

could I do something like this
var S=document.form1.company.value;

 var A=document.IngRecordNo.value;

if (temp=="Joe", "Sam", "sam", "joe")  
{ window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mywebsite.com/editpage.asp?id='[/URL] + escape(A);}

Not to familiar with ASP, but that looks correct assuming the variable A contains the proper value you want to pass to your other page.
Its theoretically sound.
Though you may want to form your URL outside the window.location call and then just pass it as variable to it.

sorry not sure exactly how to acomplish that, I am not very savy in javascript

Given you are savvy with ASP, however, why not simply present a form input and do all the processing and redirecting server-side?

var myurl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://mywebsite.com/editpage.asp?id="[/URL] + escape(A);
window.location=myurl;

Of course Dan makes an excellent point. Its always better to do the processing server-side.
