javasript Is there a limit to else if statements

Image
By User



I am getting value from a text field. I have one if and several else if statement.





The problem the last else if doesn't execute even if the condition is true.





If I change the last else if to if it executes and gives alert. When i change that back to else if the statement doesn't execute. The else if before that is fine as it's firing/executing on a particular condition.







function Valcheck()

{



var txtVal = document.getElementById("sometextField").value;







if(txtVal =="%") 

    {



        alert("% is only allowed with other characters.");

        return;

    }       



    else if(txtVal.indexOf("%") != -1) 

    {

        if((txtVal.indexOf('%')) != (txtVal.length-1)) 

        {

            alert(" % is only allowed at the end.");

            return;

        }       

    } 

    else if(txtVal.indexOf(",") != -1) 

    {

        alert("Comma or comma separated values are not allowed.");

        return;



    } 

    else if(( txtVal.length  >0) &&  (txtVal.indexOf("%") == -1)) 

    {

        alert("Please enter % at the end of the value.");

        return;

    }            



    else if( txtVal.length > 11 ) 

    {



        alert(" Value can't be greater than 11 characters.");

        return;



    }



}







Please help. Thanks

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
