immediate if statement

[andersond]

I am having some problems getting the immediate if statement (iif) to work in javascript. Is there a particular version of javascript I should be using? I will be operating on an Apache server.

javascript has nothing to do with apache
for an iif in javascript you use it like this

((conditions)?"true":"false")

Okay. Here's my code, according to your instructions. It causes an error saying "object expected"

var cGVW= iif((cBody=="Tractor")? rtrim(document.getElementById('GVW'+x).value): "");
 

I also tried the syntax I use in other languages but got the same error

var cGVW= iif(cBody=="Tractor", rtrim(document.getElementById('GVW'+x).value), "");
 

what am I doing wrong?

@andersond
the syntax (as far as I know there is no iif() function).

var x = condition ? true_statement : false_statement;

see MDC – Conditional Operator

in my example I never put the letters iif.. it was a correct example
