My if else statement is not working. Please help me fix it.

Hi Experts

I am a complete noob to javascript but I have been tinkering with it and trying to refine a popup menu script. Please look at the else if statement at the bottom. No matter what I select from the popup menu the value that is returned is always 'N/A' Please help me fix this.

Thanks

var aHazard = ["Severity and Probability",["1. Imminent Danger","1A Probable","1B Reasonably Probable","1C Remote","1D Extremely Remote"],["2. Serious","2A Probable","2B Reasonably Probable","2C Remote","2D Extremely Remote"],["3. Minor","3A Probable","3B Reasonably Probable","3C Remote","3D Extremely Remote"],"4. N/A"];
var cRtn = app.popUpMenu(aHazard);

if(cRtn != null)
if(cRtn = "4. N/A") {
this.getField("PreTxt1").value = "N/A"
}else{
this.getField("PreTxt1").value = cRtn.substring(0,2)}

Hi,

Why dont you indent and give proper parenthesis?

try this-

if (cRtn != null) {
    if (cRtn = "4. N/A") {
        this.getField("PreTxt1").value = "N/A";
    } else {
        this.getField("PreTxt1").value = cRtn.substring(0, 2);
    }
}
