Javascript code on more than one line

[markprog]

I have a conditional statement that I would like to break into separate lines because it is too long for 1 line.
I know in vbscript that to continue a line you would use the "_" character.
How do you accomplish this in javascript?

If (Condition1) ||
(Condition2) ||
(Condition3) ||
{
statements
}

There is no continuation character in Javascript. You can break the if statement into separate ones and set a boolean variable to true or false.

var istrue=false;

if (condition1) istrue=true;
else if (condition2) istrue=true;
else if (condition2) istrue=true;

if (istrue)
{
//what to do if istrue == true
}

And don't forget about the powerful switch statement:

var the_val = "stuff";

switch (the_val) {
    case "things":
        alert("here I am 1");
        break;
    case "stuff":
        alert("here I am 2");
        break;
    case "crap":
        alert("here I am 3");
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

Thank you.

On the switch/case statment:

I want to have case #1 with multiple items.
I.E.

switch (myval) {
case "M","P","K":
statement;
break;
case "C","D","L":
statement;
break;
default:
break;
}

is this possible?

switch (myval) {
     case "M":
     case "P":
     case "K":
         statement;
         break;
     case "C":
     case "D":
     case "L":
         statement;
         break;
     default:
         break;
  }

There is a level of Hell reserved for probability theorists in which every monkey that types on a typewriter produces a Shakespearean sonnet.
