Multiple Line if statements

I am trying to run a multiple variable statement.  When i run the statement individually it works, but one I combine multiple lines it only reads the last line.  could someone tell me where I am going wrong?

this.getField("Capacity").value ="";

if (this.getField("Media").value == "Liquid" && this.getField("Orifice").value == ("D")&& this.getField("Series").value == ("740")){this.getField("Capacity").value = ((this.getField("Area")).value *4.814)*.791*Math.sqrt(62.37*(this.getField("PSI")).value*1.1)}

;

this.getField("Capacity").value ="";

if (this.getField("Media").value == "Liquid" && this.getField("Orifice").value == ("D")&& this.getField("Series").value == ("741")){this.getField("Capacity").value = ((this.getField("Area")).value *4.814)*.791*Math.sqrt(62.37*(this.getField("PSI")).value*1.1)}

;

Ah, now I see, there was a one character difference between the two lines. I assumed that somehow the second one was an accidental copy of the first one. You need to change your logic a little bit if you want to test for both "740" and "741" (I've reformatted the script a bit to make it easier to understand):

this.getField("Capacity").value = "";
if (this.getField("Media").value == "Liquid" &&
  this.getField("Orifice").value == "D" &&
  (this.getField("Series").value == "740" || this.getField("Series").value == "741")) 
{
  this.getField("Capacity").value = ((this.getField("Area")).value * 4.814) * .791 * Math.sqrt(62.37 * (this.getField("PSI")).value * 1.1)
};

You have extra "()" around the string constants, but that should not cause any problems. Just to make things more readable, you may want to change things like this

this.getField("Orifice").value == ("D")

to this:

this.getField("Orifice").value == "D"

I don't see anything that is obviously wrong.

Can you tell me what exactly is not working? Are you getting syntax errors? Are the results not what you would expect?

The issue I am having is if I have the  "741" value selected the "capacity" value shows.  But if I change the "741" value to "740" like the line above, the "capacity" value does not show.  If i delete out the second statement with the "741" value and just have the "740" value it does work.  So what i am figuring is the program is only reading the last statement I put in.
