javascript shorthand if statement, without the else portion

Question

So I\'m using a shorthand javascript if/else statement (I read somewhere they\'re called Ternary statements?)

this.dragHandle.hasClas

Answer 1

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but ternaries allow you to write less than you've shown:

direction = this.dragHandle.hasClass('handle-low') ? "left" : "right";

And now that I think about it, yeah, you can do your question too:

slideOffset + direction == "right" ? = $(".range-slide").width() : = 0;

This is a theory. The next time I have an opportunity to += a ternary I will try this. Let me know how it works!
