I want my code to halt/stop/break where i put the return; and i want it to halt, i have tried using break if anyone could help me that would be appreciated, i am pretty new to Javascript so don’t be upset if i dont get everything right the first time 😀 anyhelp would be very appreciated.

function InitAll() {
    var name = prompt("What is your name?", "");
    document.write("Hello, " + name + " this is a little Javascript Activity!");
    var PromptAnswer = prompt("So, " + name + " do you like to play Soccer?", "");
    if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!") {
        document.write("Cool, that's awesome, i play Soccer too!");
        var PromptAnswer2 = prompt("Well, even some people play Soccer and don't like it, do you like soccer?", "");
        if (PromptAnswer2 == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!") {
            document.write("Yeah, its pretty fun.");
        }
        if (PromptAnswer2 == "") {
            return;
        }
        else {
            document.write("Well, that's really too bad, but i guess if you don't like it, you dont like it. :D");
        }
    }
    else {
        var PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", "");
        if (PromptAnswer3 == "football" || "Football") {
            document.write("Haha yeah, football is pretty awesome, even though i'm a Javascript Script, my Creator can throw football pretty well. :D");
        }
        else {
            document.write(PromptAnswer3 + " is pretty cool.");
        }
    }
}

    There are several issues in your code.

    The prompt function can return null so you probably want to change this:

        if (PromptAnswer2 == "") {
        return;

    to this:

        if (!PromptAnswer2) {
        return;
    }

    The return statement will finish the execution of that function, returning control back to whatever called the function.

    That will check PromptAnswer2 for null, "", undefined and several other things too.

    Secondly, statements like this:

    if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!")

    must be written like this:

    if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || PromptAnswer == "Yes" || PromptAnswer == "Yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yeah" || PromptAnswer == "yeah!" || PromptAnswer == "Yeah!")

    or perhaps even better to remove the different case possibilities:

    PromptAnswer = PromptAnswer.toLowerCase();
if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || PromptAnswer == "yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yeah" || PromptAnswer == "yeah!")

    or using regular expressions:

    if (PromptAnswer.match(/^(yes|yeah)!?$/i))

    Third, you may want to know that document.write() on a fully loaded document will clear the current document and start writing a new document. It is usually not what one wants to do in event handling javascript.
