wheres boolean

[lcscne]

is there a boolean datatype in js?
cuz the following doesn't seem to work for me.


var blIsDataValid
blIsDataValid = True

if (blIsDataValid) {
document.frmTest.atag.Value = "True"
}
else
{
document.frmTest.atag.Value = "False"
}

I think (true/false) should be lowercase:

Try:

var blIsDataValid = true;

if (blIsDataValid) {
document.frmTest.atag.Value = "True";
} else {
document.frmTest.atag.Value = "False";
}

yup that'll do it, i also needed to change .Value to lower case too. This web development is crazy all the different languages one needs to know.

Yeah, sure is.

Would not work. You could also shorten it by using the conditional/ternary operator:document.frmTest.atag.value = (blIsDataValid) ? 'true' : 'false';
