JavaScript problems

Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2004 8:21 pm (20 years, 1 month ago)

Hey, when I run this script it tells me that I'm missing a ; in line 4 and an expected ( in 47/48. I don't know what this script wants, I've checked it over and all of the bits seem to be there. Any help would be great. (Also in the preview there seems to be a emoticon with sunglasses where there should be an 8. )

Code:

<html><head><title>amy</title>

<script language="JavaScript">
function valid(){
Var x;
x=document.datecount;

if (((x.month=01) || (x.month=03) || (x.month=05) || (x.month=07) || (x.month=08) || (x.month=10) || (x.month=12)) && ((x.day >= 1) || (x.day <=31)))
{
window.alert("Date Valid");
}
else
{
WINDOW.ALERT("INVALID DATE");
}

if ((x.month=02) && ((x.day >= 1) || (x.day <=29)))
{
window.alert("Date Valid");
}
else
{
WINDOW.ALERT("INVALID DATE");
}

if (((x.month=04)|| (x.month=06)|| (x.month=09)|| (x.month=11)) && ((x.day >= 1) || (x.day <=30)))
{
window.alert("Date Valid");
}
else
{
WINDOW.ALERT("INVALID DATE");
}

}

</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>
<form name="datecount" method="post" action="">

<P>Insert a date here to find the days remaining in 2004:</P>
<P>Example: 01/01/2004
<input type="text" name="month">/
<input type="text" name="day">/2004
<input type="Submit" name="valid" value="valid" onclick="valid()">
</P>
</form></body></html>

Well the smiley with the shades was because of the 8) which is the code for that particular smiley. You can get round that by putting code within the [code] tags, which I have done for you.

Also, by clicking the "disable smily's in this post" checkbox, surely that would also work? Very Happy

Yes, it would, but

Maybe the capital letter in "Var" is the problem. I changed that and my browser threw up some other errors, leading me to think that at least that problem had disappeared...

The errors were:
