If Statement help

twilitegxa · July 31, 2009

Is there a way to write some if statements that will name a variable based on what option a user selects in the options?

I have the following page:

<?php

session_start();

?>

function addRowClone(tblId)
{
  var tblBody = document.getElementById(tblId).tBodies[0];
  var newNode = tblBody.rows[0].cloneNode(true);
  tblBody.appendChild(newNode);
}
//end function for Sub-Attribute

//function for adding Neutral Attributes
function addRowClone(tblId)
{
  var tblBody = document.getElementById(tblId).tBodies[0];
  var newNode = tblBody.rows[0].cloneNode(true);
  tblBody.appendChild(newNode);
}
//end function for Neutral Attributes

//function for Power Points
function power()
{
var first,res1;
//Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float
first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].attribute_level.value);
res1=(first)*10;
//show the result in the result textbox
document.forms[0].power_points.value=res1;
}
//end function for Power Points

//function for Character Points remaining
function remain()
{
var first,res2;
//Take the value of first textbox and convert it to float
first=parseFloat(document.forms[0].attribute_level.value);
res2=10-((first)*4);
//show the result in the result textbox
document.forms[1].cp_remain.value=res2;
}
//end function for Character Points

For example, in the first set of select options (starting with Animal Guardian), I would need to write an if statement something like this:

if select option from attribute = animal guardian {

$guardian = (attribute_level * 1)

}

I know that syntax isn't exactly right, but just to give you an idea of how I need to write it. I need to take the first option, and if they choose it, then take the second option value, and multiply it by a specific amount (in this case 1, but ill be other numbers in other cases), and then set that to a variable name so it can be used in a function or something later on the page. Can anyone help me write this properly?
