Hi,

I hope you can help ![](http://www.kirupa.com/images/emoticons/silly.gif)

I have a if statement that first checks to see if the enter key is pressed. Although i cant figure out how to to nest futher statements with in that initial statement. At the moment I’m checking for an enter keypress like so:

if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {

I suppose immediately after i want the script to see if a a textboxes variable is empty or not.

IF its empty run x code

IF it has content run y code.

Seems straight forward enough but i cant seem to figure out how to nest them under the first Enter key IF check.

Any advice gratefully received.
