I have tried the following but it's throwing an exception:
if (!$get('sslot_hf0').value in ('X', 'Y', 'Z', '0')) {
$get('sslot_hf0').value = 'X';
}
I am looking for a function similar to the IN
operator in SQL
You can use below function for the same purpose, second param can be array or object and first param is value you are searching in array or object.
function inStruct(val,structure)
{
for(a in structure)
{
if(structure[a] == val)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
if(inStruct('Z',['A','B','Z']))
{
//do your stuff
}
// this function traverse through inherited properties also
i.e in some where your included js libraries
Array.prototype.foo = 10;
than
instruct(10,[1,2,3]) // will return true
same will happen for objects also. check this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/rQ8AH/17/
EDITED ::
thank you all for comments ... this is the updated code, I thought it is better to keep old function also. so, some one can notice the difference.
function inStruct(val,structure)
{
for(a in structure)
{
if(structure[a] == val && structure.hasOwnProperty(a))
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
