I wrote a simple survey that uses php to submit the info to a MySQL database. The survey itself works and the data appears in the database, however, there is a little Javascript that is supposed to make sure all the questions have been answered, which is not working.
I copied the code from another survey I used and the code works fine on that survey. If a question is left unanswered, a window (alert) pops up stating that a question was left blank.
This particular survey, however, just submits the empty values to the database when the user clicks on “Submit”. The Javascript section to check and make sure all of the questions were answered does not seem to be working.
Here is my code:

I have went over it several times. What am I missing? Probably something simple. Not sure if this helps, but there is a little “bang” that pops up in the lower left side of the page next to the word “Done”. When I double click on it, a window pops up that says:
Line: 36
Char: 39
Error: Unterminated String constant
Code:0
Thanks in advance for your help,
Vinny
