Squiffy: How to fix if else error?

Question

if ( num1 < num2*0.10) {
     message = "poor" 
} else if ( etc ) { 
     etc 
} else {
    etc 
} 

The following is pseudo code that did not work well in practice. Is there some special way I must put if-else statements in Squiffy?

This needs more detail, what happens when you try it - any error messages? If you can give us an actual full example of a squiffy file that will help.

No the game doesnt load in the scratchpad. Assuming all the variables been globally defined how would I format an if then statement. It could be the number of tabs I am using.

We can't help unless we can see an example. The if statement in your question looks fine to me.

Here is an example of what I tried to enter in the scratchpad that made nothing appear:

If you run your example and open your browser's developer console, you'll see an error like this:

Uncaught ReferenceError: num1 is not defined

This is because to access Squiffy attributes from JavaScript, you need to use get. To set attributes, use set.

For example:

if ( get("num1") < get("num2")*0.20 ) {
    set("message", "poor");
} else if ( get("num1") < get("num2")*0.30 ) {
    set("message", "average");
} else { 
    set("message", "good");
}
