Being a VB programmer taking the step to Java is proving pretty frustrating. I have a very uncomplicated app, but having spent hours trying to achieve a simple step thinking about going back to VB! I have a list, and two text boxes. When I selct an item from the list, I want the selection to appear in the top text box (All good so far, works ok). I then want to use the same variable in an if statement to display some different text in the second text box. I’ve attached the code if that helps. ListWord is the variable. Thanks in advance…

[var ListWord = $(‘select[name=”list1″] :selected’).text()
$(‘#m1-test2-text1’).text(ListWord);
if (ListWord = “Mind Read”)
{
$(‘#m1-test2-text2’).text(“Mind Reading is fun”);
}
else
{
$(‘#m1-test2-text2’).text(“nope”);
}]

if (thing == thing2)

== is a comparison, = is an assignment

What can I say….4 days wasted!! Worked perfectly the first time I put the == into the code. Thanks for taking the time to answer….will be purchasing Mobi One as a result, and have found an excellent beginners online Javascript course….
