Label function with variable font-size

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I have the following function which I use to create a label and return a view. It works great with one exception. I'm unable to get a variable font size using logic. Any ideas how I can set this?

Thanks. 

posterLabels = function(type, text) {
      var fontsize = type === 'heading' ? 40 : 16;
      var label = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
            text: text,
            height: 'auto',
            width: 'auto',
            color: '#FFF',
            font: { fontSize: fontsize },
            textAlign: 'center'
          });
      return Titanium.UI.createView().add(label);
    };

wow...i'm a noob. I never had it setup to pass in 'heading' I had it passing 'header'. D'oh!

What happens if you replace the === with == instead? Personally, I always enclose the test in parentheses, like:

var fontsize = ( type == 'heading' ) ? 40: 16;

Try that and see what happens.

Yeah i did all that. I tested the code in Chrome's console and it returns the correct value. For whatever reason fontSize doesn't like the variable.
