If statements and conditions

Question

I am trying to confirm two different things in an alert box, if statement. The first is that the user pressed the yes button and the second is a user input value on the page. See the code below. I'm still pretty green, any help would be greatly appreciated.

var cMsg = "You are about to reset this page!";
cMsg += "\n\nDo you want to continue?";

var nRtn = app.alert(cMsg,2,2,"Question Alert Box");
if(nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 5)
{
////// do this

}
else if(nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 6)
{
/////then do this
}
else if(nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 7)
{
/////then do this
}

}
else if(nRtn == 3)
{
console.println("Abort the submit operation");
}
else
{ //Unknown Response
console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRtn);
}

Answer 1

Your if...else syntax is incorrect. Correct syntax

if (condition)
   statement1
[else
   statement2]

Use correct syntax

if (nRtn == 4 && getField("MV").value == 5) {
    ////// do this    
} else if (nRtn == 4 && getField("MV").value == 6) {
    /////then do this
} else if (nRtn == 4 && getField("MV").value == 7) {
    /////then do this
} else if (nRtn == 3) {
    console.println("Abort the submit operation");
} else { //Unknown Response
    console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRtn);
}

instead of

if (nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 5) {
    ////// do this

} else if (nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 6) {
    /////then do this
} else if (nRtn == 4) && (getField("MV").value == 7) {
    /////then do this
} <=== Remove this 

} else if (nRtn == 3) {
    console.println("Abort the submit operation");
} else { //Unknown Response
    console.println("The Response Was somthing other than Yes/No: " + nRtn);
}
