Name
if( ) — evaluates an expression, returning two possible strings depending on the result
Synopsis
| Defined in: XForms 1.0 |
Parameters: boolean test (required); string trueval (required); string falseval (required) |
| Return type: string |
This function evaluates the boolean test parameter,
and returns trueval if the test is true, or
falseval otherwise. Note that all three parameters
are always evaluated—no “short
circuit” evaluation takes place.
If the evaluation of a/b yields true, this example
returns “it worked”, and otherwise
returns “it failed”:
if(boolean-from-string(a/b), "it worked", "it failed")
