[SOLVED] combine 3 if statements into one

[M.O.S. Studios]

Hey guys,

  I know this question shows how much of a newb in JavaScript I am. However I’m hopping you can help me out.

 

I have this code in a function:

 

if (myform.taxes_cost.value == 1)var tax1 = subTotal * 0.05;
if (myform.taxes_cost.value == 1)var tax2 = (subTotal+parseFloat(tax1)) * 0.075;
if (myform.taxes_cost.value == 1)var tax3 = (subTotal+parseFloat(tax1)+parseFloat(tax2)) * 0.03;

 

As you can see I have the same condition in all three of those statements. Is their any way to make the one if statement that will define all those var's?

 

Thanks in advance

This is a very basic concept in most languages...

 

if (myform.taxes_cost.value == 1) 
{
   var tax1 = subTotal * 0.05;
   var tax2 = (subTotal+parseFloat(tax1)) * 0.075;
   var tax3 = (subTotal+parseFloat(tax1)+parseFloat(tax2)) * 0.03;
}

By the way, it's recommend that you always enclose IF blocks in curlies --- { and }

 

There are documented cases where javascript gets confused when there aren't { and } because of two possible syntactically correct interpretations.

Awesome works 100%,
