Quick JavaScript Problem.

how do i do if value 1,2 and 3 all equal to specific answer and then that if statement should work...

function checkanagram(){
var val = $("#anagramtext" :wink:

.val();
var val2 = $("#anagramtext2" :wink:

.val();
var val3 = $("#anagramtext3" :wink:

.val();

if (val == 'Millennium Wheel' :wink:

{

alert ('Correct Answer!' :wink:

; }

else { alert ('Incorrect answer, try again' :wink:

; }

}

i want it to say if value1 ,2 and 3 all equal to each specific string then it should do the if statement

Just put all conditions into your if statement one after the other?

Use the && operator to represent AND


if (val == 'Millennium Wheel' && val2 == 'Millennium Wheel' && val3 == 'Millennium Wheel')

{...}

You've done something else wrong then. Paste your code into a JSFiddle.

Not sure then, some of that is jQuery which I've never used.

Have you considered asking on StackOverflow too?

Dont you wanna use "or" to check if one of those is the correct or do they all have to be correct...

if (val == 'Millennium Wheel' || val2 == 'Millennium Wheel' || val3 == 'Millennium Wheel' :wink:

Yes... Go to the website, pop you JavaScript into the JS box, and your HTML in the HTML box.

Make the smallest possible working example for your scenario.

It should work if the first two work, maybe you're missing an apostrophe or the &&?

What's showing in your error log?

basically for value 3, when i choose it to equal to 'Tower of London' then it doesnt work and when i type it into the field box the dialog box shows up as incorrect answer even though i have spelt it properly.

also i have tried other words and they work
