For some reason it seems as though firefox doesn't like the else statement. I use it often but it has been giving me a lot of troudlbe lately. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do?

Thanks in advance.

Post an example of an if else if statement that has been causing you problems. In my experience, if there's a problem in Firefox, it's because of my code not Firefox.

re: FF else if problem?

Ok here is the part of the code that I am having trouble with in FF. This is javascript search engine that I have been working on, but the only problem is when I keep the else statement in the script, FF will not even read the entire external file.

Change your for loop to:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. for ( i=0 ; i<=9; i++)

Your initial condition is weird. You probably made a typing mistake. You should also indent your code nicely and make good use {} so that your code is readable.
