I am sure that I am missing something very basic here. What I want to do is when a user selects an element in the following select list they are presented with a popup that tells them how many digits they have to enter in the patient account number field. What is happening is I am getting the same message all of the time. So when I select a facility that only uses 7 digits, I want the 7 digit message to appear. What I am getting is the 8 digit message.
Here is the code:
 
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function sendAlert() {
 locationChoice = testForm.entityselectedIndex
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "BUMC") {
  alert("Please enter an 8 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "Landry Center") {
  alert("Please enter an 8 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "Grapevine") {
  alert("Please enter a 7 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "Garland") {
  alert("Please enter a 7 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "BIR") {
  alert("Please enter a 7 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "Irving") {
  alert("Please enter a 7 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 if (testForm.entity.options[locationChoice].value = "Ellis") {
  alert("Please enter a 7 digit patient account number")
  return false
  }
 }
    
//-->
</script>
