Need help with IF ELSE statments

Hi, I seemed to have hit a dead end with my script. Please forgive my ignorance. I am new to this and just can't seem to find my mistake. I am pretty sure the problem is with the IF ELSE statements. Any Help with debugging my script would be greatly appreciated.

It is a script to calculate calorific needs for a person, based on Gender, Age, activity level & Weight. It Also calculates the Basic Metabolic Rate.

JavaScript Code:


///// CALCULATE ALL RESULTS /////
function results(){
var bmr=0;
var toMaintain=0;

///// CALCULATE BMR /////
function calcBmr(){
var gender=document.getElementById('gender');
var ageRange=document.getElementById('ageRange');
var weight=parseInt(document.getElementById('weight').value);

///// MALE CALC FOR BMR /////
var m10to18=651+(17.5*weight);
var m19to30=679+(15.3*weight);
var m31to60=879+(11.6*weight);
var m61plus=487+(13.5*weight);

///// FEMALE CALC FOR BMR /////
var f10to18=746+(12.2*weight);
var f19to30=479+(14.7*weight);
var f31to60=829+(8.7*weight);
var f61plus=596+(10.5*weight);

if (gender.options[gender.selectedIndex].value=='male'){
if (ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='tentoeighteen')
bmr=m10to18;
else if(ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='nineteentothirty')
bmr=m19to30;
else if(ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='thirtyonetosixty')
bmr=m31to60;
else (ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='sixtyoneplus')
bmr=m61plus;
}

else {
if (ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='tentoeighteen')
bmr=f10to18;
else if(ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='nineteentothirty')
bmr=f19to30;
else if(ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='thirtyonetosixty')
bmr=f31to60;
else(ageRange.options[ageRange.selectedIndex].value=='sixtyoneplus')
bmr=f61plus;
}
}

///// CALC CALORIES TO MAINTAIN WEIGHT /////
function toMaintaincalc(){
INACTIVE1=1.2;
FAIRACT1=1.3;
MODACTIVE1=1.4;
ACTIVE1=1.5;
VACT1=1.7;

var activeLevel=document.getElementById('activeLevel');

if (activeLevel.options[activeLevel.selectedIndex].value=='inactive')
toMaintain=bmr*INACTIVE1;
else if(activeLevel.options[activeLevel.selectedIndex].value=='fairact')
toMaintain=bmr*FAIRACT1;
else if(activeLevel.options[activeLevel.selectedIndex].value=='modact')
toMaintain=bmr*MODACTIVE1;
else if(activeLevel.options[activeLevel.selectedIndex].value=='active')
toMaintain=bmr*ACTIVE1;
else(activeLevel.options[activeLevel.selectedIndex].value=='vact')
toMaintain=bmr*VACT1;
}

///// RETURN ANSWER FOR BMR /////
document.getElementById('bmr').value=bmr+" Calories";

///// RETURN ANSWER TO MAINTAIN WEIGHT /////
document.getElementById('maintain').value=toMaintain+" Calories";

///// CALC CALORIES TO LOSE WEIGHT ////
FATLOSS1=0.85;
var fatLoss=toMaintain*FATLOSS1;

///// RETURN ANSWER TO LOSE WEIGHT /////
document.getElementById('lose').value=fatLoss+" Calories";

///// CALC CALORIES TO GAIN WEIGHT /////
MUSCLEGAIN1=1.2;
var weightGain=toMaintain*MUSCLEGAIN1;

///// RETURN ANSWER TO GAIN WEIGHT /////
document.getElementById('gain').value=weightGain+" Calories";

}

With that many "if" statements going on you might want to consider using switch statements (http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_switch.asp) instead.

I would and probably will at a later stage, but I am trying to learn and master javascript and I don't think I will if I can't make my script work using the IF ELSE statments. I need to find why it's not working and what I am doing wrong. So any help to my learning will be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for that, it works great.

I would like to know though, would the code, that I had done, have worked with a few minor adjustments or would that have been impossible?

I know there are simpler ways of doing it, but as described earlier, I am a complete novice at javascript and I don't think I should move on to those simpler ways until I have fully grasped the IF ELSE statments and nesting them. I thought they were correct, but obviously I am missing something.
