substr not giving result

[mickeymouse]

Trying to get the last character of a string but get absolutely nothing - no result, not even an alert execution.
What's wrong with my substr?  It seems to me it agrees with the W3S documentation.

function mychk(myfld)
{with (myfld)
{if(bud.checked==true)
    {var x = myfld.value;
    alert(x);  <--------------------------- Shows correct results
    var r = substr(myfld.value,-0,1);  <---------Trying to get thelast character of the string.
    alert(r);  <------------------------------ No alert at all
    }
}}
    NOT ANYBETTER IF I USE  
    	var r = substr(x,-0,1);
    	alert(r);  <-------------Still no alert.

You are mixing javascript code with php? When you decide on the one you want, repost.

Thanks.  But what is the problem now?I keep getting the alert message no matter if my slice is a,l or any thing else.

function mychk(myfld)
{with (myfld)
{if(bud.checked==true)
    {var str = myfld.value;
    if(str.slice(-1) == 'a' || str.slice(-1) == 'l');
        {alert('TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT POSSIBLE FOR a OR l ACCOUNTS.');}  <------- I keep getting the message no matter what.
    }
}}

Remove semi colon from if condition.
