[removed] How can I simplify an if-statement with multiple OR conditions?

Question

Sorry if I\'ve made mistakes writing this post. I\'m new here and I don\'t know how this works, hope I learn quick. I am also new at JavaScript.

So the question is:

Answer 1

Yes, you have to make it the 'normal' way.

What

if (codePrompt == (codeSwitch || codeSwitchBG || codeBlur || codeShowInfo)){};

does is

1) test all the switches -- returns TRUE if any are TRUE

2) test if codePrompt == TRUE or FALSE.

Based on your code, you can remove that test altogether and simply drop through to your final ELSE.

Another option is use a SWITCH statement, the last ELSE becoming the DEFAULT clause.
