The problem I am having is that it is out putting employee number not valid while I am typing a valid ID.

var emp = new Array ("Billy", "Jill", "Wolfgang", "Xavier", "Antoinette","John")
var empNum = new Array (78,90,23,12,56,31)

var i = 0


 
var empSearch = eval(prompt("Please Enter the ID of the employee you are looking for?"));

for(var i = 0; i < empNum.length; i++)
{

 
 if (empNum[i] == empSearch)
 {
 document.write("<br> employee number is valid, this employee is " + emp[i] + "<br>")
 }
   
   else 
   {
   document.write("employee number is not valid")
   }

}

That was the solution I was considering but I need an error message if the ID is not valid.
