Pls. JS for the below simple IF statement

Question

Hello,
I am new to JavaScript, could you pls. consolidate the below 2 IF statements into only 1 summary IF statement (I mean, put the red IF statement into blue IF statement)
my_form:Page1:SunForm1:Middle_Name_text_field ::: Change JavaScript
I wrote the below code in the CHANGE event of a text field of "Middle_Name_text_field"
// Hide associated check box
// As soon as user started entering the data, make associated check box as invisible
// or if erased the data again then make the check box visible
if (xfa.event.newText.length > 0) {
     MiddleName_CheckBox.presence = "hidden";
else {
// I guess, the below red piece should come here
     MiddleName_CheckBox.presence = "visible";
var yc  //Yellow color
yc = " "
yc = (this.ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value);
// If the Middle Name text field is colored with yellow, then make it again invisible, no matter wht the above IF statement yileds in
if (yc == "255,255,191") {
     MiddleName_CheckBox.presence = "hidden";
Thank you

Hi,
This should work:
// Hide associated check box
// As soon as user started entering the data, make associated check box as invisible
// or if erased the data again then make the check box visible
var yc = (this.ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value);
if (xfa.event.newText.length > 0 || yc == "255,255,191") {
     MiddleName_CheckBox.presence = "hidden";
else {
     MiddleName_CheckBox.presence = "visible";
The || is JavaScript for "or", so that if either condition is met the field is hidden.
Hope that helps,
Niall
