Question

I’ve got the following JavaScript statement, that executes on Page Load:

The variable u1 is populated with one of the following values:

BBSLoan|Accept|PPI+No|60Months
BBSLoan|Refer|PPI+No|60Months
HSBSLoan|Accept|PPI+No|48Months
HSBSLoan|Refer|PPI+No|48Months

I have been informed that the conditions in the conditional statements will never be met – is this true? From what I can see, going on each of the variables, the index that will be returned by indexOf is 0? Unless I am mistaken?

EDIT: Just to clarify, the variable ‘u1’ will be populated dynamically with any of the 4 strings listed above. The %pu1=!; is actually a macro that will populate this value.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    var u1 = '%pu1=!;';

    if (u1.indexOf('BBSLoan|Accept') > -1) {
        var pvnPixel = '<img src="http://www.url1.com"/>';
        document.writeln(pvnPixel);
    }
    if (u1.indexOf('BBSLoan|Refer') > -1) {
        var pvnPixel2 = '<img src="https://www.url2.com;"/>';
        document.writeln(pvnPixel2);
    }
    if (u1.indexOf('HSBSLoan|Accept') > -1) {
        var pvnPixel3 = '<img src="https://www.url3.com;"/>';
        document.writeln(pvnPixel3);
    }
</script>

Thanks in advance!

Ok I finally got this to work using search instead of indexOf!
