Hello Steve Rumsby,

many thanks for your helpfull answer.

It is a old habit, to write this in capitals.

IF and ELSE should be lowercase in javascript

Javascript is case sensitive - the keywords (IF, ELSE, etc.) must be in lower case.

Also, you can't use "exit" to exit a script. You can, in the browser at least, use "return" (the script engine in Windows GUI objects to "return" in this context), but it would be better to structure your script to avoid this completely.

Steve.
