@Sup3rkirbyJan 15.2013 — With your if statement grouping, you are missing an extra parenthesis for each pairing which breaks that if statement.

Also the comparison of the gen variable needs to use the == comparison operater (just a single = sets a variable, 2 or 3 = signs will compare).

And the male and female comparison strings much be enclosed in some form of a quote.

It also would be proper practice to use semi-colons at the end of each proper line of code:
<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
var age=prompt("what's your age");
var gen=prompt("what's your gge");
if((age&gt;=21 &amp;&amp; gen=="male") || (age&gt;=18 &amp;&amp; gen=="female")) {
document.write("eligble");
} else {
document.write("not eligble");
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
