[RESOLVED] if statement true when false?

@Hud4007Jan 16.2009

I have here menu that pop ups or vanishes when the enter key is pressed.
when i set an alert, the alert constantly say that the menu changed to inline even when it wasn’t inline before?

[code]function checkKey(event) { if (event.keyCode==13) { if (document.getElementById(‘menu’).style.display=’none’) { document.getElementById(‘menu’).style.display=’inline’; } else { document.getElementById(‘menu’).style.display=’none’; } } }[/code]

@JMRKERJan 16.2009 — #The key pressed event is handled differently by different browsers.

Which one are you using or have you tried in more than one?

Do you have more code that post #1?

@MrNobodyJan 16.2009 — #This is faulty:
[CODE]if (document.getElementById('menu').style.display='none')[/CODE]
should be:
[CODE]if (document.getElementById('menu').style.display=='none')[/CODE]

The key pressed event is handled differently by different browsers.

Which one are you using or have you tried in more than one?

Do you have more code that post #1?[/QUOTE]I want it to be useable in the wii opera browser, but currently i tried it in google chrome and FF

and code?

here

div#menu {display:none;}
 #display {border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:black;z-index:2;background-color:white;width:100&amp;#37;;height:100%;width:50%;height:50%;position:absolute;top:25%;left:25%;}
 #bg {z-index:1;opacity:0.5;background-color:black;width:100%;height:100%;margin:0px;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;}
 .item {margin:5px;text-align:center;}
 #tip {position:absolute;bottom:0px;right:0px;}
 
 
 
 function onload()
 {
 c=1
 }
 
 
 
 &lt;body onload="onload();" onkeypress="checkKey(event);" style="margin:0px;"&gt;
 &lt;div id="codedbrowser"&gt;
 &lt;div id="menu"&gt;
 &lt;div id="bg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div id="display"&gt;
 &lt;span  class="item"&gt;Main Menu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
 &lt;span class="item" id="tip"&gt;Press (1) to Exit Menu&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/body&gt;

also the (1) business, the unicode i think is 172,c is to signify that the onload function occured and was finishedThis is faulty:
[CODE]if (document.getElementById('menu').style.display='none')[/CODE]
should be:
[CODE]if (document.getElementById('menu').style.display=='none')[/CODE][/QUOTE]this makes nothing happen no alert, no appearance

Nevertheless ... The syntax needed correction. I wasn't addressing your logic. When testing for equality, you can't have such a condition test in an IF statement without using the double equal sign. A single equal sign is always an assignment and, thus, the only condition will be the result of the assignment -- which is almost always considered a [B]true[/B] result. Thus, the [B]else[/B] statement will never execute.

@Hud4007authorJan 16.2009 — #i now understand MrNobody

in my code i must have put ELSE [b]IF (...)[/b] instead of else and edit them differently than i stated, sorry on my part, he solved my problem

Yay its solved!!!?
