Help with JavaScript - I'm going blind! - 3/14/2001 20:03:00
My eyes are turning to mush trying to find the error in this JavaScript. The message I get is An error has occured etc.... Line 33 Character 184 Expected';' But it's there!! I am going blind looking for the lost semi colon - can anyone see where it is wrong? www.aislinn.ie/thought.htm ------------------ Katherine InKK Design LinKKs - Kilkenny's Online Magazine -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Dogs have owners, cats have staff!"

I know this sounds really stupid, but it really did happen to me.Highlight and remove the ; then replace it. I swear, I spent a couple of hours looking at the darn thing when the error message kept telling me it wasn't there. Don't know how or why, but I completely removed it. Typed it back into position and all was well. Go figure. That's the only time I had that problem, and I really hope it never happens again!

Don't ask - I haven't a clue. But this has worked for me in the past: Cut the script from the body of the document: <script> writeTip(); </script>
Save the page' Close whatever editor you're using, Reopen the editor, type <script> writeTip(); </script>
Resave.... Good luck

You're not blind or crazy, but you DID make the number one error with quotes - nesting them without using the \ character.The problem is in MSG[9] - you have embedded quotes, which confuses the rest of the script. Replace the line with msg[9] = "<p>A musician must make music<br>An artist must paint<br>A poet must write<br>If he is ultimately to be at peace with himself<br>What a man can do - he must be</p><p class=\"sml\">Albert Maslow</p>"; (The change I made was to put \ in front of the quotes in front of Albert Maslow)... Enjoy -Gene PS: Beleive it or not, I came here to LEARN javascript - I've never done it before... But code is code is code

Well DONE! Geneage, I am embarrassed to admit I didn't even go look at the code. I made a wrong assumption and (hopefully didn't) had somebody deleting and typing for nothing.Well Done! class="sml" in Message 9 should be class='sml'

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Geneage - that was it!! You have saved my sight!!  I didn't even need to escape them - just delete them! I am always careful to escape characters in text but old habits die hard and I inadvertantly put them in in the tag.
