If statement in javascript

[xperience2]

Apologies for the, what I'm sure is a very rooky question, but I don't do much in Javascript!

I need to conditionally display the word 'mile' or 'miles' depending on whether the variable is '1' or more than 1.

I currently have:

document.getElementById('distance').innerHTML = "You are " + stores[0].distance + " miles from your nearest store.";

Can someone write me an if ... then ... else statement to work with this?

Thanks!

Simon

something like the following should work :

var distance=stores[0].distance;
var mileType="miles";

if (parseInt(distance)==1)
{
mileType="mile";
}

document.getElementById('distance').innerHTML = "You are " + distance + " " + mileType + " from your nearest store.";
