For nested if help

Hi,Can anyone help me with the following code please.Not sure what I am doing wrong.

var teamerror=false;for (var i = 0; i < 11; i++){   el = document.getElementById("team" + i);	var firstteam=el.value;	var teamsame=1;	for (var j = 0; j < 11; j++){	el2=document.getElementById("team"+j);	var secteam=el2.value;		if (i!=j){			if (secteam=firsteam){				teamsame=teamsame+1;				}			if(teamsame=3){			teamerror=true;			}		}	}}alert(teamerror);

ThanksSteve

The reason your code isn't working is because you're using an assigning operator on these lines:if (secteam=firsteam){if(teamsame=3)You have to use a comparative operator:if (secteam == firsteam){if(teamsame == 3)You could simplify this line:teamsame=teamsame+1;to this:teamsame++

Superb,I have been trying all kinds of things for days with no luck but that works superbly now, something as simple as that is so difficult when you dont quite know the correct syntax.ThanksSteve
