You can have as many 'else if' as you like

Cool... but it seems like extra keystrokes for a single situation

[ovigo22]

Not necesarily .. switch is good for: if (X =1 ) { action } else if (X = 2) { action } else if (X = 3) {action} else {action} where the LHS of the condition is always the same
(think about multiple 'else' clasuses .. when would any but the first get executed?

[kadamat]

Interesting

ovigo22, heh, well not to get offtrack, but for that I think a for loop would be better :-P

[ovigo22]

Where?

[kadamat]

Well, basically, I have a dropdown menu with four options. I need to set up a statement to handle all four. which would be the coolest/most elegant way to approach this?

[ovigo22]

kadamat,switch would be as the LHS will always be the selectedIndex ..
(object full of functions == perl)

Perl must die
