JavaScript Help - What is wrong with this code

[KeithReilly]

Hi
I used this code from a YouTube Tutorial and I get an error saying: SyntaxError : missing after case label 5: at line 6

Code is below and any advice would be much appreciated.

var f = this.getField("City");

switch(event.value){


case "Pakistan"

f.setItems(["Karachi", "Islamabad", "Lahore"]);

break;


case "United States"

f.setItems(["New York", "California", "Nevada"]);

break;


case "United Kingdom"

f.setItems(["Manchester", "Liverpool", "London"]);

break;


case "United Arab Emirates"

f.setItems(["Dubai", "Abu Dhabi", "Sharjah"]);

break;


case "Canada"

f.setItems(["Toronto", "Vancouver", "Montreal"]);

break;

What you pasted here does not close - Missing bracket -> }
Or did you copy and just missed it????

1. You didn't close switch statement with curly bracket.
2. You didn't add colon after each case.

var f = this.getField("City");
switch(event.value){

case "Pakistan":
f.setItems(["Karachi", "Islamabad", "Lahore"]);
break;

case "United States":
f.setItems(["New York", "California", "Nevada"]);
break;

case "United Kingdom":
f.setItems(["Manchester", "Liverpool", "London"]);
break;

case "United Arab Emirates":
f.setItems(["Dubai", "Abu Dhabi", "Sharjah"]);
break;

case "Canada":
f.setItems(["Toronto", "Vancouver", "Montreal"]);
break;
}

Hi,
I used the same code above, also from the internet, and replaced ("City") with ("Address"). I want to be able to select a company name from a dropdown and have their address auto populate in a text box (I had to use a dropdown instead) below the name. I receive a SyntaxError: syntax error 4: at line 5 Here is what I have:

var f = this.getField("Address");

switch(event.value){


case: "Alberta Construction Training Institute"

f.setItems(["12118 154 Street NW, Edmonton, AB  T5V 1J2"]);

break;


case: "Canadian Industrial & Construction Training Inc."

f.setItems(["330 MacKenzie Boulevard, Fort McMurray, AB T9H 4C4"]);

break;


case: "First Aid & Safety Services Inc."

f.setItems(["17920 118 Avenue, Edmonton, AB  T5S 2W3"]);

break;


case: "Learn-Rite Courses Inc."

f.setItems(["10129 128 Avenue, Grande Prairie, AB  T8V 1X9"]);

break;


case: "Rhino Integrated Safety Services Ltd."

f.setItems(["#3 6720 71 Street, Red Deer, AB  T4P 3Y7"]);

break;


case: "Safety Buzz Campus"

f.setItems(["350 Eagle Butte Road, Dunmore, AB  T1B 0K2"]);

break;


case: "Safety Connections"

f.setItems(["1007 Factory Street, Medicine Hat, AB  T1A 1X8"]);

break;


case: "--Select--"

f.clearItems();}

The colon is supposed to be after the case string, not the case keyword. Put the colon at the end of the line.
