Mark, Thanks for the reply, and Happy New Year!
What you picked up was a transcription error from the actual code I was trying to convert. Change that to strCity = "Detroit" and the same unexpected results occur. Would you agree that whatever is going on has to be in the condition test?

The value "Detroit" is being assigned to strA, but that's not part of your If statement.

Consider the following page: <html> <head> <title> Example_01 </title> </head> <body> <form name="frmForm" action="Example_01_Redirect.asp" method="post" > <Input type="button" name="cmdSubmit" value="Send Request" OnClick="Validation()" > <br> <br> City <br> <input type="text" size="15" name="txtCity" value="" > <br> <br> The Local Weather <br> <textarea name="txtWeather" rows="5" cols="50" value="" ></textarea> <br> <br> Test 15 </form><!-- frmForm --> </body> </html> <script language="javascript" > function Validation() { strCity = "Detroit" alert (strCity) if (strCity = "Atlanta") { alert ("Atlanta") } else { alert ("Not Atlanta") } } </script> Nothing fancy, nothing complex. Just a little example to see how the syntax works. As a test, I made a hard assignment for strCity, making it = "Detroit". On clicking the button, the first alert statement shows " Detroit", which obviously is correct. The second alert, in the IF statement, shows the city as "Atlanta", when I was expecting "Not Atlanta". Obviously, the problem is in the condition test, (strCity = "Atlanta"), but I can't see it. What on earth am I doing wrong?
