URGENT: Please convert this Python Script to Javascript?
I'm trying to make a simple database run on a html page i have coded it in Python 2, but it's server side not client side O.O. Therefore you would be helping me alot by converting this to javascript. I need a box with a button to be displayed on the page. You would input a users name press submit and it would show Name, Rank, Joined Date.
Script:
user1 = "Xx.:Abbas:.xX"
rank1 = "Founding Father"
joined1 = "N/A"
user2 = "jacksimpson"
rank2 = "Joint Founder"
joined2 = "Apr 19, 2014"
user3 = "::.Charlieboy.:"
rank3 = "1st Founder"
joined3 = "Apr 23, 2014"
user4 = "EpicLewis."
rank4 = "Chief Of Staff"
joined4 = "Apr 20, 2014"
var = raw_input('Please enter the first name of your target: ')
if var == "Xx.:Abbas:.xX":
print "Name: %s" % user1
print "Rank: %s" % rank1
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined1
if var == "jacksimpson":
print "Name: %s" % user2
print "Rank: %s" % rank2
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined2
if var == "::.Charlieboy.:":
print "Name: %s" % user3
print "Rank: %s" % rank3
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined3
if var == "EpicLewis.":
print "Name: %s" % user4
print "Rank: %s" % rank4
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined4

Oh boy. This is wrong on so many different levels.
Mixing data with code = bad
Case statements for every possible case = bad
Accidentally coding in wrong language = bad
Go learn JavaScript from a proper reputable source, please. Also don't ask Yahoo to do your homework. <3
