why isn’t this working:


function validate_date_alert() {
    alert (myAlert);
    if (myAlert="yes") {
        alert("Invalid format.  Please format using MM/DD/YYYY.");
        return false;
    } else if (myAlert="no") {
        return true;
    }
}

The variable are passing by the state always returns as false. What gives???
