To have many alternatives that result in the same thing, write them like
this:

switch(document.bus_data_form.employee_subgroup.selectedIndex){
		case 1:
		case 2:
		case 3:
		case 4:
		case 5:
		case 6:
			document.bus_data_form.recipient.value =3D
payroll;
			break;
		case 7:
		case 8:
		case 9:
			alert("This combination is not routable. Please
correct one of these fields.");
			return false;		=09
}

See

In your particular example, an if clause might me much easier. As in:

if(new
String(document.bus_data_form.employee_subgroup.selectedIndex).search(/[
1-6]/) !=3D -1){
	document.bus_data_form.recipient.value =3D payroll;
}
else if(new
String(document.bus_data_form.employee_subgroup.selectedIndex).search(/[
7-9]/) !=3D -1){
	alert("This combination is not routable. Please correct one of
these fields.");
	return false;=09
}

=C4mne: [javascript] Syntax for Switch/Case Statement



Hello list,

What is the correct syntax for the switch/case statement where multiple
cases do the same thing?

Here is my code that doesn't work. It only works for 6 & 9.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

	switch(document.bus_data_form.employee_subgroup.selectedIndex){
		case 1,2,3,4,5,6 :
			document.bus_data_form.recipient.value =3D
payroll;
			break;
		case 7,8,9 :
			alert("This combination is not routable. Please
correct one of these fields.");
			return (false);
			break;
		}


=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Thanks for any help,
