Hi all,
I am attempting to learn something here.
I have a javscript that works fine when I put it in the BODY of my page:
var resSize
if (screen.width < 690)
{
resSize = "640x480"
}
else if (screen.width < 850)
{
resSize = "800x600"
}
else if (screen.width < 1079)
{
resSize = "1024x768"
}
else if (screen.width < 1200)
{
resSize = "1152x864"
}
else if (screen.width < 1330)
{
resSize = "1280x960"
}
else if (screen.width >= 1600)
{
resSize = "1600x1200"
}
{
document.write('<a href="thispage_' + resSize + '.html">')
}

However, I need to use this little script multiple times on the page, so, to make things more concise, I'd like to separate the script into two :
In the HEAD of my page:
var resSize
if (screen.width < 690)
{
resSize = "640x480"
}
else if (screen.width < 850)
{
resSize = "800x600"
}
else if (screen.width < 1079)
{
resSize = "1024x768"
}
else if (screen.width < 1200)
{
resSize = "1152x864"
}
else if (screen.width < 1330)
{
resSize = "1280x960"
}
else if (screen.width >= 1600)
{
resSize = "1600x1200"
}
|

And in the BODY of my page:
{
document.write('<a href="thispage_' + resSize + '.html">')
}
|
|
However, if I do that, nothing seems to happen at all. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Vanessa

Sorry...figured this out myself, Just extraneous {} were causing it to fail. Thanks anyways.

You also need to get into the practice of terminating your statements with the semicolon.

Thanks! Do you mean at the end of every line?

Not EVERY line, but every "statement". It's not a technical requirement, as the specification is a bit forgiving. But it's good practice.
So in your code, the "resSize =" statements should, if you're being strict, have terminal semicolons.
