How to determine which error occured...

Orrin

I have a piece of code that checks for errors.
I define a couple of possibilities in the function.
How can I determine which of the items actually caused the error?

Code:

var $verify = function(){
var $error = _getText(_div("number"));
var $Error0 = "Number already exisits on our system.";
var $Error1 = "Number Must Be a valid ******";
var $Error2 = "Cannot be left blank!";
if ($Error0 || $Error1 || $Error2){
_fail(????);
}
};

Hi Orrin,
What what I understand of your requirement, the div "number" displays various error messages.
Then the following code should solve your problem.

var $verify = function(){
var $error = _getText(_div("number"));
var $Error0 = "Number already exisits on our system.";
var $Error1 = "Number Must Be a valid ******";
var $Error2 = "Cannot be left blank!";
if ($error == $Error0){
_fail($Error0);
}
else if ($error == $Error1){
_fail($Error1);
}
else if ($error == $Error2){
_fail($Error2);
}
else _log("passed"); //optional
};

Perfect solution.
