hi!

What is the 'default' keyword used for in Javascript?

Thanx

As far as I know it is a reserved word only - not in use just yet.

default is used in conjuction with the switch statement; if none of the conditions are met, it is executed... example below:

switch(x)
{
case 1:
//if x is one, this code is executed
break
case 4:
//if x is four, this code is executed
break
default:
//if x is neither, this code is executed
break;
