If statement doesn't work

[Jeff Kurzner]

var showMessageResponse = function (oXML) { 
    
    // get the response text, into a variable
    var response = oXML.responseText;

    // update the Div to show the result from the server
	document.getElementById("responseDiv").innerHTML = response;
	if 1==1 {
      document.form1.Email.style.backgroundColor="#FF9F9F";
	};
};

In the above example if I remove the If statement the function does work and the responseDiv element is updated. Even though the if statment eveaulates to true, nothing gets updated with the if statment in there? It seems so simple?

Please use code tags when posting code.

That's because if syntax is

if (1==1) {
   document.write("Hello World");
}
