I don't blame dyslexic people, but I know a dyslexic guy. He does random code formatting (it does not provide readability at all). Example code: <script type="text/javascript"> function bla(){ if(x=5=y=10;} if ( whee=lol){bla=9; } Horrible readability. I always have to reformat his code in order to debug it. After twenty minutes of debugging I finally found his error. He didn't close the <script> tag. That is one of the cardinal rules of coding.. always close your code block first before you add anything to it!! I cannot stress it enough. Good code practice. The code in his entire JS block didn't get executed even though it was called onto with html by using onload="bla()". The browser went in quirks mode, ignored the entire <script> section and just rendered the <h1> text. So now you see the importance.. and how such a stupid error as a closing </script> tag can cause you minutes if not hours of debugging. I was calling all variables and checking their values.. lol. Anyway.

You can do assignment inside a condition, as far as I know. http://stackoverflow.com/quest … practice-or-not Apparently it's not proper practice. ____________ |

oh I remember using it back in the days of DIV and Fenix. while(EnemeyId = get_type(type enemy)) end To loop through all living enemy processes and get their type. ____________ Kwakkel |
