Help with != && != 2

[smashing]

This is the condition:

if (firstform.outmonth.value !="12" && firstform.retmonth.value !="01&quot {

Coming from a PHP envoirement, why can I not get it in Javascript be evaluated in whole? ie to return true both conditions have to be met.

What is your problem? Are you getting an error in your page, or is it just not producing the results you're expecting?

it just not producing the results I'm expecting.
Its evaluating each part separately. ie if firstform.outmonth.value !="12" then it does'nt care what the value of firstform.retmonth is

this shouldn't matter.... but try encapsulating each if clause inside ()'s like so:

if ((firstform.outmonth.value != "12") && (firstform.retmonth.value != "01"))

Might just be your logic:
[tt]
if (firstform.outmonth.value !="12" && firstform.retmonth.value !="01&quot {[/tt]

try passing in
12, 01 //false
x, 01 //false
12, x //false
x, x //true

So it is only true if the first one isn't 12 AND the second isn't 01. Is that what you are after?
