Re: Fiscal Year issue

&& and || do not group the way you think they do.

(a && b || c) === ((a && b) || c)

You've written your conditional assuming it would be (a && (b || c))

So...

var curYear = 2014;

var ListYr = "2015";

var month = "Apr";

var isTrue = (curYear == ListYr && month == "Jan" || month == "Feb" || month == "Mar" || month == "Apr" || month == "May" || month == "Jun" || month == "Jul" || month == "Aug" || month == "Sep");

isTrue evaluates to true because...

curYear == ListYr && month == "Jan" --> false

month == "Feb" --> false

month == "Mar" --> false

month == "Apr" --> true

month == "May" --> false

month == "Jun" --> false

month == "Jul" --> false

month == "Aug" --> false

month == "Sep" --> false

false || false || false || true || false || false || false || false || false -> true

You want...

(curYear == ListYr && (month == "Jan" || month == "Feb" || month == "Mar" || month == "Apr" || month == "May" || month == "Jun" || month == "Jul" || month == "Aug" || month == "Sep"))

Can someone please help me with my javascript within the jsfiddle below?

I need to make sure certain dates fit within the current fiscal year (ie. Oct. 2013 - Sep. 2014)

For some reason, my script isn't working. It has (Apr. 2015) within the current fiscal year.
