And on a side note, what is up with the default on a switch statement? That thing always fires no matter what, I essentially never use it because of this.

The default should fire if none of the preceding tests pass. Of course, if the last test doesn't hold a 'break', the default will be executed too, as any test that doesn't terminate with a break. switch(condition) { test 'A' :

      // code for condition 'A'
      break ;

test 'B' :

      // code for condition 'B'
      // *** mind the missing 'break ;' ***

default :

      // code for condition 'C'

} If condition equals 'B', this will run both the code for 'B' and the default code. If condition equals 'C', it will run the default code only. Sure you haven't omitted a break before your default-always-firing statement ?
