Newbie question... Does the switch statement work with event.target?
For instance, I have the following condition in my script: if ($(event.target).is("a.close") { $("#popup_layer").hide(); } else if ($(event.target).is("a.continue") { // do something else } ... I actually have a few more conditions that look for specific anchor classes to do different stuff. I'm thinking it would be nicer to move to a switch statement but my code doesn't seem to work. I suspect I'm doing something wrong. What is the proper way of converting the above to a switch statement? Here's what I'm doing so far... switch ($(event.target)) { case "a.close": $("#popup_layer").hide(); } break; case "a.continue": $("#popup_layer").hide(); } break; ... } I know $(event.target) is an object so it can't equal any of the cases but I'm unsure what the proper syntax is to get the value out of the initial condition. Thanks for any guidance. -v
