Question

Ok i have this function. what it should be doing it looking for pid in sql and if found skip the function and move on, but I dont think my if statment is working right.

function getblogpost(div) {    
    var date = $(div).find('.time').text();
    var user = $(div).find('.user').text();
    var title = $(div).find('.title').text();
    var textbody = $(div).find('.bodytext').text();
    var postid = $(div).find('.pid').text();

    var q = tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM blogpost WHERE postid=" + postid, 
                          [], function(transaction, result) {
                            var sqlpostid = result.rows.item(i)['postid'];
            }, null);
    if(result == NULL) {
        return;
    }
    else {
    dbsql.transaction(
    function(transaction) {
        transaction.executeSql(
        'INSERT INTO blogpost (postid, date, user, title, textbody) 
                    VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);', 
        [postid, date, user, title, textbody], 
        function() { },
        errorHandler
        );
    }
    );

    return false;
    }
}

Should this not work?

Thanks

Edit:
what about this.

function getblogpost(div) {   
    var postid = $(div).find('.pid').text();
    var q = tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM blogpost WHERE postid=" + postid, [], function(transaction));
    if(!q) {
        return false;
    }

    var date = $(div).find('.time').text();
    var user = $(div).find('.user').text();
    var title = $(div).find('.title').text();
    var textbody = $(div).find('.bodytext').text();

        dbsql.transaction(
            function(transaction) {
                transaction.executeSql(
                'INSERT INTO blogpost (postid, date, user, title, textbody) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);', 
                [postid, date, user, title, textbody], 
                function() { }, 
                errorHandler
                );
            }
        );      
    return false;       
}

What i’m trying to do here is find out if postid is in the database and if so skip the function and return.

Well you need to define NULL somewhere like

var NULL = null;

Without that, NULL is undefined in ECMA-/Javascript.

Anyways, why would you do that? executeSql() takes two Callbacks as parameters. The second one is for an error case, which fits probably better.

t.executeSql('SELECT Foobar FROM blogpost', [], function (t, r) {
  // r.rows[1].Something
}, function (t, e) {
  console.log(e.message);
});     

For instance.
