can’t get my script to count up.

hi, i’m a student newbie and i have an excercise, which displays two counters from 0 to infinity. i can get it to count only to 1 then it stops. i have tried calling the function again immediately after it has incremented by 1 to get it to keep going, but i’m having problems. at first i used a for loop, then seen that there was no need, i think, so if you can help i would appreciate it right now.

thanks in advance.

here’s the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Dynamic HTML</title>
<script language=javascript>

var count1=0;
var count2=0;

function counters()
{
setInterval(“counter1(count1)”,1000);
setInterval(“counter2(count2)”,100);
}

function counter1(count)
{
myPara1.style.color=”red”;

myPara1.innerText=++count;

}

function counter2(count)
{
myPara2.style.color=”green”;

myPara2.innerText=++count;

}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<h1 align=center>Dynamic HTML</h1>
<a href=”” onMouseOver=counters()>Move the mouse over here to begin</a>
<p id=myPara1 align=center>Counter 1</p>
<p id=myPara2 align=center>Counter 2</p>
</body>
</html>

@ziffgoneMar 19.2004 — I think you simply have to change "myPara1.innerText=++count;" to "myPara1.innerText=count[color=red]++[/color];

I believe you just have the ++ on the wrong side of "count".

@SlankenOgenMar 19.2004 — Try to clearly define your operators with spaces:

myPara1.innerText=++count;

should be-

myPara1.innerText = ++count;

@lahmayesMar 19.2004 — try this.

[code=php]
<html>
<head>
<title>Dynamic HTML</title>
<script language=javascript>

var count1=0;
var count2=0;

function counters()
{
setInterval("counter1(count1)",1000);
setInterval("counter2(count2)",100);
}

function counter1(count)
{
myPara1.style.color="red";

myPara1.innerText = count1++;
}

function counter2(count)
{
myPara2.style.color="green";

myPara2.innerText = count2++;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<h1 align=center>Dynamic HTML</h1>
<p><a href="" onMouseOver=counters()>Move the mouse over here to begin</a></p>
<p align="center"> Seconds:</p>
<p id=myPara1 align=center>Counter 1</p>
<div align="center">Tenths:</div>
<p id=myPara2 align=center>Counter 2</p>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
