JavaScript If Statements

[admin11]

I'm having trouble with my If Statements not working. The syntax is correct according to many sources. Do you think it could be the browser? Maybe there is a patch for this. Please respond if you have had similar problems. Thank you for any suggestions.

Here is an example of one of my If statements that does not work. If I type a value other than 0, 1, or 2 the alert should pop up, but it doesn't. Any suggestions?

function APGAR() {
if(field.value==0 || field.value==1 || field.value==2) {
var A=eval(document.REG.ACT.value);
var P=eval(document.REG.PULSE.value);
var G=eval(document.REG.GRIMACE.value);
var AP=eval(document.REG.APP.value);
var R=eval(document.REG.RESP.value);
document.REG.TOTAL.value=A+P+G+AP+R;
} else {
alert("You must enter a 0, 1, or 2");
field.focus();
}
}

hm...shouldn't be here somewere something like var somevalue= newString(); ? I think that math values and string characters are not the same thing...

Think Kor's got it there, forms return strings so you need to turn it into number format so your code will now be

    var theVal = parseInt(field.value, 10);
    if (theVal >= 0 && theval <= 3) {
