if..else statment giving syntax error

[spastica]

i have a quicklaunch dropdown menu containing links to different pdf documents.

when a user selects one of the documents in the dropdown, the documents opens up instantly in a new window.

this works fine, but the problem is, one of the options is not to launch a document. instead, it is to show a message on the current page saying we do not have documents for that area.

I can't figure out a way to conditionally open in a new window. I only need to open in a new window if there is a document being launched. if there is not, I need it to stay on the same page and show the message.

here's what I have but I get a syntax error:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function jumpTo(form) {

var myindex=form.quicklaunch.selectedIndex;

if(myindex)==6

{

window.open(form.quicklaunch.options[myindex].value);
}

else

{
window.open(form.quicklaunch.options[myindex].value, target="_blank");

}


} // -->
</script>

nevermind, I made a stupid mistake by not putting brackets around the if condition! doh!

this worked fine:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function jumpTo(form) {

var myindex=form.quicklaunch.selectedIndex;

if (myindex==6)

{

window.location=form.quicklaunch.options[myindex].value;

}

else

{
window.open(form.quicklaunch.options[myindex].value, target="_blank");

}


} // -->
</script>
