Syntax Problems with Function

Steve Bishop · Jan 31, 2004

I am trying to check for a fields value on load and hide certian
controls based on it's value. I am having trouble with the "else"
statement and the bracket placement. Help appreciated. Here is the code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function HideTable(){
var myform1 = document.form1
var myform2 = document.form2
if (myform1.txtName1.value == "Size Mix")
document.getElementById("tn3").style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById("but1").style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById("Table2").style.visibility="visible";
else
document.getElementById("tn3").style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById("but1").style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById("Table2").style.visibility="hidden";
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="HideTable()">

Jeesuz, don't you look at ANY documentation or ANY code before writing?

What do you think the {} marks are for???? They enclose code. Enclose
code between them that belongs in one *block*.

Use jslint to correct this: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/lint.html
