Checkform - Checking 2 fields

Hi

Firstly apologies for this question as I am sure it is really basic, however I just can't get my simple bit of code to do what I want.

I have a HTML form that I validate the entries with a bit of Java. All works perfectly until I try and check 2 fields using an AND operator (&&).

Code Java:

---

if (form.show.value =="Yes" && form.weeks.value == "elephant")  {
	alert( "Please enter the number of weeks that the booking will run" );
	form.weeks.focus();
	return false ;
	}

---

It works if I use an OR operator (||) and works if I check either field singular. From the example I've seen on the net, the syntax looks ok...I've tried with brackets in different places, one & rather than &&, even tried a sub IF.

No point in pointing out that I'm very new to Java...

Many thanks in advance.

Chris

Do not use == to compare objects as this compares references and not contents. Use the equals method instead.

Is this Java or JavaScript?
