Javascript doesn’t run Windows XPSP2

@Trevor_LawrenceJan 20.2005

I copied the attached code from internet.com with the insertions to write “line 1” and “line 2”. Only “line 1” writes.
The HTML code after the script works OK.

What is wrong? Could there be a problem with the way Javascript is installed on my PC?

It is the code, you are using. jAVasCripT is case sensitive and you are using lower case characters where upper case is required. Something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

document.write("line 1<br>")

var months=new Array(13);

document.write("line 2")

months[1]="january";

months[2]="february";

months[3]="march";

months[4]="april";

months[5]="may";

months[6]="june";

months[7]="july";

months[8]="august";

months[9]="september";

months[10]="october";

months[11]="november";

months[12]="december";

var time=new Date();

var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];

var date=time.getDate();

var year=time.getFullYear();

document.write("<center>" + lmonth + " ");

document.write(date + ", " + year + "</center>");

// end -->

</script>

should work for you.

I was used to HTML which apparently recommends lower case, although I understand both work (at present)

Are all versions of Javascript (if therr ar more than one) case sensitive?

?

@PittimannJan 20.2005 — #Hi!Are all versions of Javascript (if therr ar more than one) case sensitive?[/QUOTE]Yes! And due to that, you should not modify the character case in scripts you download from somewhere. The mistake, which stopped the execution of your code already happened here:

var months=new [B][COLOR=red]a[/COLOR][/B]rray(13);

The [B][COLOR=red]a[/COLOR][/B] must be upper case. The variable name 'months' could be 'moNTh' without a problem, but you would have to use exactly the same, when referring to it in your script.
