Can you please explain in some detail the 'if' statement. I am particularly interested in two things. 1) nesting several 'if' statements and 2) writing an 'if' statement with multiple conditions - i.e. 'if x AND y are true then....'

Thank you very much for your help!

This is a basic programming question. There are several things you can do to answer it. Something we can't do here is give you a short course in programming.

1. Get the O'Reilly "JavaScript, Definitive guide" and read the first section.
2. Take an introductory class in JavaScript. There are online instructional videos for this sort of thing. Lynda.com has a nice one.
3. Read this artical on using the Acrobat JavaScript Console Window and experiment with "if" blocks.
