Can arrays be used in an IF statement?

[helpneeded22]

I am brand new to Javascript, but I do have some programming experience. My code is not working and the only reason I can think of is that JS must not be able to evaluate an array in an IF statement? Here is a sample code:

<script type="text/javascript"> var mini01=["AMIRI","Rare","Medium","on","Announced","July 7, 2012"];var rarecolor="#000000";if (mini01[1]=="Common")  {  rarecolor="#008000";  }  elseif (mini01[1]=="Uncommon")  {  rarecolor="#0000ff";  }  else  {  rarecolor="#ffffff";  }document.write('<font color="' + rarecolor +'">');document.write(mini01[1]); </script> 

Nothing outputs. Any suggestions? (Note: I do close the FONT tag in html after the script)

You need to use "==" or "===" to compare values, the "=" operator assigns a value. You're changing the value of mini01[1], not checking it.

I think I have it working now. I noted that the "elseif" should be "else if". When I deleted the lines with "else if" it still failed to function with the "else" condition. When I remove the "else" then it all works.
