I have this js script that is causing me problems becuase there is an ampersand (&) in comparison value in my if statement. I keep getting the error :'Unterminated string value'. How can I make it work so that I can use the value "ACA&BS" in an if statement?

if (form.dirvalue == "ACA&BS")
 { form.Domain.value="Resource & Cost Management";
}

Well, you can do it like this:

if(String(form.dirvalue).search(/ACA(&|&)BS/) != -1){
   form.Domain.value="Resource & Cost Management";
}

Thanks for the post, but is there a simpler way to do it. The values
that I will be comparing are going to be pulled from a database and dynamically populated so I need an easier solutions to make values like AA&S, CC&M be used in an if statement.

Maybe like this:

var strDatabaseValue = "The string from the database";
var strToCompare = strDatabaseValue.replace(/&/gi, "&");
if(strToCompare == "ACA&BS"){
   form.Domain.value="Resource & Cost Management";
}
