I am confused by the shorthand "if" notation. For example I just saw this PHP snippet on another forum <? $bkgndClass = $bkgndClass == "darkBkgnd" ? "liteBkgnd" : "darkBkgnd"; } ?> I think it is an if but cannot find it in the manual. How is that written in the more normal notation - if(){} etc?? [And please excuse a slightly off-thread but related extension to the question but I have seen similar in Javascript - namely --- var evt = (evt ? evt : ((window.event) ? window.event : null); is this the same notation or something else?] Regards Adrian Greeman
