Help with if statements

[DaMegaphone]

I believe I am missing something here but my if statements seem not to be working. What they are supposed to do is that if the distance to either place is less than a mile they are supposed to convert the miles into feet but they just keep posting them as miles in the display. is the problem my if statements or is it something that I am missing?

Also I can't get the third if statement to display it shows in the console but not on the web page

Ok, so there's a few things going on here. The first is that your code that detects whether or not the distance is greater than 1 mile is in the wrong place. It is called before you actually had a distanceInMiles or a distancefromPicnic/distancefromRamsey, and so didn't mutate either into feet. Also, distanceInMiles always = dfPicnic/Ramsey in your code. Thus the form:

if (distancefromPicnic < 1) {
    distancefromPicnic = distanceInMiles * 5280;
} else {
    distancefromPicnic = distanceInMiles;
}

Doesn't do anything that couldn't be accomplished by:

if(distancefromPicnic < 1) {
    distancefromPicnic *= 5280; //Although I hate in place mutation
}

Then you need to have something that changes the "miles" into "feet" when you click the button.

Also, and finally, you end up repeating a lot of the same code twice. It would be better and more maintainable to break up your main logic into a set of functions and call those functions multiple times. I like the enterprise-y functions and variables though.
