A better /elegant way to write if/ else? Maybe use array?

[mspsys]

I am new to programming so I know very little. (Sorry for posting a newbie question)

Here is my question.

I have used "if, else" statement to redirect users depending on their country like this.

if (country == 'US') {

window.location=us

else

{

if (country == 'GR') {

window.location=gr

.
.
.
(repeated this for 5 times/5 different countries)

Well, now, I need to redirect visitors to their states (i.e., California, Arizona, etc.).

The problem is, if I keep using if/else statement, I know I have to repeat this for 50 times and the javascript code will end up looking ridiculous.

I know there is a better way to do this.

Can anyone show how to replace multiple if/else statement into an array? Array should be used in a situation like this? Am I correct?

If I am wrong, can you please correct me & show me what other statement should be used instead?

Thank you & once again, I apologize for putting up such a newbie question.

window.location=country

or maybe from the looks of it
window.location=country.toLowerCase()

but to go one level deeper on the if/else scenario you would probably want to put your information into an object and use it as a look up table:

<script type="text/javascript">
var country="us";
var state="Arizona"

var countries={
us:{Arizona:"az",California:"ca"},
australia:{Victoria:"vic",nsw:"NSW"}
}

alert(countries[country][state])
</script>
