I tried to create a javascript switch statement that basically sees if the window.location matches the url and if it does, it will display that code. I have 7 tabs, and one is selected depending on which page you are on, so Im trying to make a javascript function that traces the url and if matches a variable, then it displays that code. Does anyone know why this wont work? Here is my code: ```auto switch (window.location.protocol) { case "http://centi.lmm.local/dLife/do/ShowContent/about_lmm/mediakit/mediakit_index.html": document.write("

") break case "http://centi.lmm.local/dLife/do/ShowContent/about_lmm/mediakit/mediakit_offerings.html": document.write("

") break } ```
