I am having issues trying to get my javascript code to work. I wanted to use both buttons and input text to play an animation. The buttons work, but I can get the animations to play well with the user's input text. It only plays one specific animation. Any ideas on what can help? I tried using return value to try to get it to look for the user input letter and play the animation based on the letter. Thanks for any help.

 

 

function nameTheRock() {
 //user alert to decide the name for the pet
 //var namePet=prompt("Please enter your pet name: ", "your name here");
 //shows the user the name they choose for thier pet rock
 //user alert to decide the name for the pet
 var namePet=prompt("Please enter your pet name: ", "your name here");
 //doesn't allow the user not
 if(namePet != null && namePet!=""){
      form.petName.value=namePet;
 }
 //checks for errors to ensure user puts in a name
    else{
    alert("Please name your pet");    
  }
}

//user key events that allows the user to enter keys j, h, s, b, and g to play animations
  var userCode = document.getElementById("hiddenText").value;
  userCode = userCode.toLowerCase();
  text = {};
  text.command = userCode;
function userKey() {
         //creates variables that containes windows and other browser capability
        if (userCode ="j") {
            jumps();
        }
         else if (userCode ="g") {
              glows();
        }
         else if (userCode ="h") {
          hops();
        }
         else if (userCode ="b") {
              blinks();
        }
         else if (userCode ="s") {
               smiles();
        }
        else {
            alert("Please use either a button or a letter to play the animation");
        }
    }

function jumps() {     
    //When the user click the button it will change the image to an
animated gif. This is done by changing the image source to another image
that contains the animations.
    document.getElementById('image').src= "jump.gif";
}


function glows() {     
     //When the user click the button it will change the image to an animated gif.
    document.getElementById('image').src= "glow.gif";     
}

function hops() {     
    //When the user click the button it will change the image to an animated gif.
    document.getElementById('image').src= "hop.gif";      
}

function smiles() {     
    //When the user click the button it will change the image to an animated gif.
    document.getElementById('image').src= "smiles.gif";      
}

function blinks() {     
    //When the user click the button it will change the image to an animated gif.
    document.getElementById('image').src= "blink.gif";      
}

You need to use a double = sign when you're comparing values, like this:

 

if (JustinBieber == "male"){
girlyhaircut()
}

 

Go through your userKey function and fix the if conditions in that, and then see if the problem is solved

[rodeone2]

function userKey($val='h') //PLACE ($uid) for production //testing value only
 {
 
  //$role=2; user roles function  
  
if ($val == 'j') {
    jumps();
} 
if ($val == 'g') {
    glows();
	}
	
if ($val == 'h') {
    hops();
	}	
	
if ($val == 'b') {    //advised to add global $admin here
    smiles();
	}	
	
if ($val == 's') {
	jumps();
	}
if ($val == '') {
    echo error();
	}	

} // end function userKey()

I tried it with the double quates but it doesn't see the text at all and just goes straight to the else statement.

I think what you need is a switch statement instead of a series of ifs

 

 
function userKey()
{
        
switch(userCode)

{

case "j" :      jumps();   break;

case "g":      glows();    break;
 
case  "h":   hops(); break;
 
case "b":   blinks();  break;          
 
case "s" :     smiles();  break;                    
    
default: alert("Please use either a button or a letter to play the animation"); break;
 
}
}
