Question

Hi can someone please tell me what wrong with this line (getting an error…)

if ($("input[type=file]").val().length !==0) || $("#book_map_keys").val().length !==0) {
// do something
}

As you can probably see, I am testing to see either of these two input field are empty. (they don’t both have to be empty)

If you could advise how this should be re-written, I’d be much appreciated.

//Edit: the error is pointing to the ‘OR’ pipe character. Adding those quotes didnt fix it, thanks anyway David

Answer 1

You have a mismatch parenthesis error

// Your line
if ($("input[type=file]").val().length !==0) || $("#book_map_keys").val().length !==0)
// The corrected line
if ($("input[type=file]").val().length !==0 || $("#book_map_keys").val().length !==0)
