The question mark???

[SugarGirl]

What does the ? and the : mean in javascript???

Example:
this.scrollbarBot.style.top = (MenuHeight - (HM_IE ? (HM_BorderWidth * 2) : 0) - HM_ScrollBarHeight) + "px";

[khalidali63]

var isOK = (n==1)?true:false;

the above is equivalent of

if(n==1){//?
isOK = true;
}else{//:
osOK = false;
}

Hope this helps

Cheers

In basic terms:

a ? x : y
If a is true, compute and return the value of x; if a is false, compute and return the value of y

The best way I can describe it is to look at the following statement:

var temp = (document.all ? true : false);

the variable temp gets the value true if the argument document.all happens to be true and false for false.

In your example, HM_IE is the argument and if it is true, then MenuHeight is subtracted by HM_BorderWidth. If false, then MenuHeight is subtracted by 0 (essentially it is not subtracted).
