Can't make multiple if conditions in JavaScript?

Question

I have absolutely no idea why this is not working. Makes no sense to me.

This returns a \"syntax error: parse error\":

if ($(this).attr(\"id\") === \'se         


        

Answer 1

When you test like this:

opening=true;

What you are really doing is setting opening to the value of true. Use == instead.

Finally, order of operations, even if correct, can get confusing. Put parenthesis around each part of the comparison.

if (($(this).attr("id") === 'search') || (opening == true)) return false;
