Other - Need Help Formating If/Or Statement

I am in desperate need of help. I have never done Javascript until about 2 weeks ago. I was able to fix a code to get the top bar of my page to open some links in a new window but I need for multiple to stay in the browser but so far this code only allows for one to do that. I am perplexed as to how I should write the If/Or code for this:

Code:

<ul id="toptoolbarlinklist"><{foreach key=key item=_item from=$_widgetContainer}><{if $_item[displayinnavbar] == '1'}><li<{if $_item[isactive] == true}> class="current"<{/if}>>
<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase'}>
<{else if $_item[defaulttitle] == 'Learning Portal Login'}>
<{else if $_item[defaulttitle] == 'Update Contact Information'}>
<{else if $_item[defaulttitle] == 'Contact Us'}>
<a class="toptoolbarlink" style="<{if $_item[defaultsmallicon] != ''}>background-image: url(<{$_item[defaultsmallicon]}>);<{/if}>" href="<{$_item[widgetlink]}>"><{$_item[defaulttitle]}></a>
<{/if}>
<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase'}>
<a class="toptoolbarlink" style="<{if $_item[defaultsmallicon] != ''}>background-image: url(<{$_item[defaultsmallicon]}>);<{/if}>" href="<{$_item[widgetlink]}>" target="_blank" ><{$_item[defaulttitle]}></a>

</li><{/if}><{/foreach}></ul>

For

Code:

<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase'}>

I need for two links to not open in a new window. So in addition to "Knowledgebase" I also need "Home" to stay within the browser.

I have tried to change 2 the lines to:

Code:

<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase' || 'Home' }>

and this causes all links to open a new window.

When I change them to:

Code:

<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase' && 'Home' }>

only the first link which is "Knowledgebase" stays in the browser but I also need home to do the same. Any suggests???

Welcome to DevShed Forums, MCtechsupport.

This looks more like a server-side template system than JavaScript, but I'll try to help anyway.

As convenient as it might be sometimes, that's not how logical operators work. You need to repeat the comparison:

Code:

<{if $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Knowledgebase' && $_item[defaulttitle] != 'Home' }>

P.S. Thanks for using the bbcode "code" tags.
