Actually that example page is for Go rather than Javascript, though the principle is the same

```auto
if (A) {
  ...
  if (B) {
    ...
  }
  ...
}

```

Indeed it is the same principle.

Yes, it is indeed possible to nest if statements within other if statements in [JavaScript](https://iqratechnology.com/academy/javascript-training/) functions. This technique is commonly used to create more complex conditional logic. Here's a basic example:

function myFunction(condition1, condition2) {  
if (condition1) {  
// Executed if condition1 is true  
if (condition2) {  
// Executed if both condition1 and condition2 are true  
console.log("Both conditions are true.");  
} else {  
// Executed if condition1 is true but condition2 is false  
console.log("Condition1 is true, but Condition2 is false.");  
}  
} else {  
// Executed if condition1 is false  
console.log("Condition1 is false.");  
}  
}  
In this example, we have a function myFunction that takes two conditions as parameters. Inside the function, we have nested if statements to handle different scenarios based on the conditions provided. Depending on the values of condition1 and condition2, different blocks of code will be executed.
