Hi need help with this code. javascript

This is my code i dont get it to work, i want it to ask the user how is he and depending on the answer alert something, and call the user by the name.

<HTML>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">

var name=prompt("Hi. Whats your name?")

var mood=prompt("Hi " + name + ". How are you?")
var fine="fine"
var bad="bad"

if mood==fine
alert("Im glad you are fine, " + name)

if mood=bad
alert("Ooo. Thats bad, Im sorry. I hope you get better, " + name)

</body>
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>

This may help. You can compare the code and the comments to your original code.

Code:

<HTML>

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

//You may want to add your own default word for the prompt to 

//avoid the prompt's 'undefined' default.

var name=prompt("Hi. Whats your name?","friend")



var mood=prompt("Hi " + name + ". How are you?") //'undefined' is the default answer

var fine="fine"

var bad="bad"



//remember to put your conditional comparisons inside of parentheses.

if(mood==fine)

        alert("Im glad you are fine, " + name)

//you can use an if..else if.. else struture to allow a default 

//answer if neither 'fine' nor 'bad' are given as the response.

//dont' forget mood=bad is an asignment, not a comparison.

else if(mood==bad)

        alert("Ooo. Thats bad, Im sorry. I hope you get better, " + name)

//and maybe add a default greeting in case 'fine' or 'bad' are not entered

else

        alert("So..., it looks like you're in a " + mood +" mood, " + name)



//And don't forget to close the script tag

</script>



</body>

</SCRIPT>

</HTML>

What do you expect to happen when your visitor checks the checkbox to turn off JavaScript (as you can see appears in some browsers as shown above - since prompt is intended for debugging use only)? If that is selected then no value gets returned from the prompt. You'd do better to use a form in the web page if you want visitors to be able to enter something.
