Nested switch statement in javascript

Question

Is it possible to use nested switch statement in javascript.

My code is some what look like

switch(id1)
{
case 1:
     switch(id2){
     ca

You can use a nested switch statement but that can quickly become a spaghetti code and therefore it is not recommended. I would rather use functions with the nested switch statement for code clearance or maybe use recursive function depending on what the code is supposed to do.

This is only a pseudo-code but I hope it gives you some idea on how to implement it. You have to be carefull to make the recursion stop on some given value of the ID. This pseudo-code increments the value of the ID by 1 if the value of the ID is 1, and increments by 2 if the value is 2. If the value is not 1 or 2 the recursion ends.

function recursiveSwitch(var id) {
    switch(id) {
       case 1: 
           recursiveSwitch(id + 1);
           break;
       case 2
          recursiveSwitch(id + 2)
          break;
       default:
          return;
     }
}
