hi dear experts...i have something to ask..does a switch statement works within a function like this:

function showstorename(str)
{

Switch (str) {
case 1:
alert ('Food')
break;

case 2:
alert ('Fashion')
break;

case 3:
alert ('Entertainment')
break;

case 4:
alert ('Hardware')
break;

default:
alert('Others')
break;

}

}

Assuming Switch should be switch,

Your cases will never match. Default will always get executed in this case. Your switch argument should be an int or a char and your cases should be looking for that argument
