javasript Is there a limit to else if statements


I am getting value from a text field. I have one if and several else if statement.



The problem the last else if doesn't execute even if the condition is true.



If I change the last else if to if it executes and gives alert. When i change that back to else if the statement doesn't execute. The else if before that is fine as it's firing/executing on a particular condition.




function Valcheck()
{

var txtVal = document.getElementById("sometextField").value;



if(txtVal =="%")
{

alert("% is only allowed with other characters.");
return;
}

else if(txtVal.indexOf("%") != -1)
{
if((txtVal.indexOf('%')) != (txtVal.length-1))
{
alert(" % is only allowed at the end.");
return;
}
}
else if(txtVal.indexOf(",") != -1)
{
alert("Comma or comma separated values are not allowed.");
return;

}
else if(( txtVal.length >0) && (txtVal.indexOf("%") == -1))
{
alert("Please enter % at the end of the value.");
return;
}

else if( txtVal.length > 11 )
{

alert(" Value can't be greater than 11 characters.");
return;

}

}



Please help. Thanks
