exit function

[prokhaled]

How can I exit function in JavaScript. I use (Exit function) in VBScript but what can I use in JavaScript to exit from function

[Cander]

break;

[JoshT]

I'd use "return;".

what you were returned something from a function though? Wouldn't break; be better for that?

[JoshT]

break exits a loop - return exits a function. IE throws an error if you use break to exit a function...

[punkpie_uk]

ah, good point.

True. break is for loops and if statments

And even then, there are better ways to exit the control structure without using "break". And if you think break is a good idea, just ask AT&T about January 15 (http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~nikitab/courses/cs294-8/hw1.html).
