If Statement [message #1811317]

Hello. I know this should be fairly easy, but I have been trying for hours to get this to work. I am trying to get a "If then else" statement to work and I don't think I am getting the correct syntax. In Eclipse for two columns, the data is either True or False or null. I want to display an X if the data is True otherwise display a null.

My code is:

if (dataSetRow["hhsDSHSBL"] = true)
dataSetRow["hhsDSHSBL"] = "X"
else
dataSetRow["hhsDSHSBL"] = " "

Right now, one column is false and the other is True. Using this code, in correlation with the column names, both display an X.

How can I get the this code to work correctly?

I would appreciate any help...this is very frustrating, especially since this should be a simple If statement.

It's not even clear (to me) what language you are using or which Eclipse tools is involved. Likely Google would help answer your question with a tiny bit of research on your part.

I apologize for waiting so long to get back to this. I had a family emergency.

I also apologize for not providing enough information. I am using Eclipse Neon.3 and java script. I have googled this looking for an answer. It is not as if I do not try to find an answer before coming to this forum for help. The basic answer I find is this:

if(x===true){
...
} else if(x===false){
....
} else {
....
}

I have tried using this syntax multiple times tweaking little things and either I can get both columns to be null or both columns to be X or nothing that I want displayed in the table returns, including all the other columns.

As I said earlier, this should be a simple thing, but not understanding java script very well, this has proven to be quite frustrating.

I would appreciate any help and if more information is needed please let me know.

The question is actually off-topic for Eclipse, as it handles the Javascript language.

I googled for 'javascript tutorial' and got over 300 million responses, the first of which were pretty good.
