Easy Javascript question

[But_Why]

This ones probably so easy that you'll all cringe and think that i'm stupid. But being a learner of Javascript, it has to be asked.
In VB there is the Select Case statement, and i think in C there is the Switch statement, which is a whole lot quicker than a heap of if then else statements.
Now on to my question, is there anything similar in VB?
Or do i have to resort to a whole lot of if/then statements. And with what i have in mind its gonna be a WHOLE lot of if then statements.
Cheers people.

If you mean VBScript then it has the same syntax as ol'
VB - Select Case. I'm not an expert on VBScript and I
haven't done anything in it but i'm pretty sure that
that' the way it is.

<Script Language = "JavaScript">
var x = 7;

switch(x) {
case 1:
alert("nope");
case 3:
alert("still not it");
case 7:
alert("thats the one");
}
</Script>

I had almost given up hope.

is there an else part for switch?

eg
switch(x)
{
case 1:
...
case 2:
...
case else:
...
}
to catch it if its not one of the previous options?

PS also does it work for strings not only numbers? I have one working with a string and it seems to go through all the options.

There shoudlnt be any reason strings wouldnt work.
this is a better example, I forgot the break statements in the other one:

<Script Language = "JavaScript">
var x = 7;

switch(x) {
case 1:
alert("nope");
break;
case 3:
alert("still not it");
break;
case 9:
alert("thats the one");
break;
default:
alert("none of them");
}
</Script>
