JavaScript and different browsers - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Alright, its time to get some help from the brillant minds of TFP.

I'm currently in an Intro to Web course and we're learning JavaScript right now. On our most recent assignment, I thought I was doing it all wrong because my prompts wouldn't load on my page. I use Mozilla as my browser. But when I went to class this morning and tried it out on IE, it worked just fine. Why is it that it works in IE but not Mozilla, and how can I make it work with both? Here's the link to the page I had to make so that you can view the source, which might shed some light on the problem - <A HREF="http://sun.iwu.edu/~jmeyer/assignment6.html">LINK</A>
Thanks for the help.

I'm guessing that whatever you were taught is not standards-compliant javascript. Unfortunately, last time I used javascript was before there were even standards for it so I don't know anything to help

EDIT: It doesn't work on IE in this internet cafe I'm in either.

bingo *grin* take hte space out of your script declaration!
script language=" javascript"

Should there be a space before the word Javascript in your Language declaration?

(d@mnit, seconds late again!)

No problem, Cheerios, but this was the second thread IN A ROW where I duplicated a post immediately above mine.
