javascript syntax error in IE 9

I keep getting a javascript syntax error with the "else" in the following code block: 

                        if ( validateme.length > 0 && !isValidEmailAddress( validateme ) )  { 
                                //alert("invalid email");
                                $('#validation_error').html("oops! That's an invalid email address");
                        }       sessionStorage.setItem("form_error", "true");
                        else {
                                sessionStorage.setItem("form_error", "false");
                        }
                        break;

I tried the same page in Firefox. But it doesn't have any errors listed in the console.

Suggestions would be appreciated. In the interim, I'm going to try in Chrome as well to see if I get any errors...

Thanks.

} sessionStorage.setItem("form_error", "true"); else {

bad bracketing

Should be:

sessionStorage.setItem("form_error", "true"); }else {

You have an error in front of the "else", just look where your 

sessionStorage.setItem("form_error", "true");

is located. You should put that "setItem" inside the if-Block, and not after it ;)
