How would i halt my code in the little section and my if and else statements arent working

Question

I want my code to halt/stop/break where i put the return; and i want it to halt, i have tried using break if anyone could help me that would be appreciated, i am pretty new to Javascript so don't be upset if i dont get everything right the first time :D anyhelp would be very appreciated.

function InitAll() {
    var name = prompt("What is your name?", "");
    document.write("Hello, " + name + " this is a little Javascript Activity!");
    var PromptAnswer = prompt("So, " + name + " do you like to play Soccer?", "");
    if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!") {
        document.write("Cool, that's awesome, i play Soccer too!");
        var PromptAnswer2 = prompt("Well, even some people play Soccer and don't like it, do you like soccer?", "");
        if (PromptAnswer2 == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!") {
            document.write("Yeah, its pretty fun.");
        }
        if (PromptAnswer2 == "") {
            return;
        }
        else {
            document.write("Well, that's really too bad, but i guess if you don't like it, you dont like it. :D");
        }
    }
    else {
        var PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", "");
        if (PromptAnswer3 == "football" || "Football") {
            document.write("Haha yeah, football is pretty awesome, even though i'm a Javascript Script, my Creator can throw football pretty well. :D");
        }
        else {
            document.write(PromptAnswer3 + " is pretty cool.");
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

There are several issues in your code.

The prompt function can return null so you probably want to change this:

    if (PromptAnswer2 == "") {
        return;

to this:

    if (!PromptAnswer2) {
        return;
    }

The return statement will finish the execution of that function, returning control back to whatever called the function.

That will check PromptAnswer2 for null , "" , undefined and several other things too.

Secondly, statements like this:

if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || "Yes" || "Yes!" || "yes!" || "yeah" || "yeah!" || "Yeah!")

must be written like this:

if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || PromptAnswer == "Yes" || PromptAnswer == "Yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yeah" || PromptAnswer == "yeah!" || PromptAnswer == "Yeah!")

or perhaps even better to remove the different case possibilities:

PromptAnswer = PromptAnswer.toLowerCase();
if (PromptAnswer == "yes" || PromptAnswer == "yes!" || PromptAnswer == "yeah" || PromptAnswer == "yeah!")

or using regular expressions:

if (PromptAnswer.match(/^(yes|yeah)!?$/i))

Third, you may want to know that document.write() on a fully loaded document will clear the current document and start writing a new document. It is usually not what one wants to do in event handling javascript.
