Dynamic if and else statements ?

[jd2007]

var x=2;
var y=3;

if ((x==3)&&(y==3))
{
alert("Success !");
}
else
{
alert("Failure.");
}

the above checks if x is equal to three and y is equal to three or not. if one of the conditions return false, the whole thing returns. how do i check which condition returns false ?

How about:

var x=2;
var y=3;

if ((x==3)&&(y==3)) alert("Success !");
else {
  if(x==3) alert("y wasn't 3");
  elseif(y==3) alert("x wasn't 3");
  else alert("both x and y weren't 3");
}

Is this what you wanted?
