NOT EQUAL methods??

[benzden]

Is there an easier, more direct method of coding a NOT EQUAL condition. As it is, I use

if (typ == "noj") { fill = "mall" }
else { document.write("<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>end()</SCRIPT>");

in order to place an ending menu when the passed parameter IS NOT EQUAL TO 'noj'. The 'fill' paramater in the above is ignored - meaning only the 'else' condition actually writes anything. Is that the most efficient way to write when 'noj' is not present?

What about:

if (typ != "noj")
{
document.write("<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>end()</SCRIPT>");
}

Disclaimer: It's been awhile since I've done any JavaScripting.

Yes, merci beaucoup! That != is what I was looking for - not having found it on page 81 in Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible - because, naturally, it was in the index under != but not under does not equal, not equal or unequal -- needless to say I've added those references but may never need them again now that it may be burned into my recall memory permanently.
