Question

not an expert on js but this if-statement still tickles me because I suspect it can be written in a way more clever fashion:

if(event.value == "/")
{
    event.value = "/home";
}

Suggestions?

Answer 1

You could omit the braces:

if(event.value == "/") event.value = "/home";

Or a conditional:

event.value = event.value == "/" ? "/home" : event.value;

…but I’m not sure either of those is really “better”, and a with statement you should just stay away from.
