SerenityNetworks Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) UPDATE: Oh, gee! Never mind. I'm just blind. I needed doh == true, not doh=true. My page loads a video file. I desire a button that turns the video controls on and off. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in the code below. The var "doh" correctly identifies whether the video controls are on (true) or off (false). However, the IF statement always evaluates as if "doh" is TRUE. What in the heck is wrong with my IF statement? Thanks, Andrew document.getElementById("showControls").addEventListener("click", function (evt) { var doh = video.controls; alert(doh); if (doh = true) { alert("in if doh=true clause"); video.controls = false; evt.target.innerHTML = "<img alt='Show' />" } else { alert("in if doh=false clause"); video.controls = true; evt.target.innerHTML = "<img alt='Hide' />" } }, false); Edited June 28, 2017 by SerenityNetworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
