What's wrong with this statement: 2

What's wrong with this statement:

function one() {
var take = document.form1.textfield2.value;
if(document.form1.textfield.value == "x&quot {
take == "y";
}
}

This is supposed to see if the value of "textfield" is x, if it is then make the value of "textfield2" y...
Thanks for the help... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

The function should read (changes in bold):

[tt]
function one() {
var take = document.form1.textfield2;
if(take.value == "x&quot {
take.value == "y";
}
}

I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)

== is comparison, = is assignment, so your statement should look like this:

function one() {
if(document.form1.textfield2.value == "x&quot {
document.form1.textfield2.value = "y";
}
}

DOH! [flush] Yup, she's right. Got in a hurry coding. Bad, very bad. Picture me banging my head against the wall. Good catch Juanita! Paul Ellis

Thanks guys (and gals, )...
Pellis, don't feel bad, I made the same mistake with the "==" and "="...
