JavaScript - Syntax Error??

Hopefully this is something easy to fix. I am using Javascript in Adobe Pro 9 for a form and though I managed to get a different if/else to work, this nested one is giving me fits. If anyone could correct, I would like to know why it fails. I get the following error which highlights the blue line of code:
SyntaxError: syntax error
169: at line 170

Code:

var ACDex = this.getField("ACDex");
    var ArmorMaxDex = this.getField("ArmorMaxDex").value;
    var ShieldMaxDex = this.getfield("ShieldMaxDex").value;

    if(ArmorMaxDex => ShieldMaxDex){
         if(ArmorMaxDex => DexMod){ 	    
ACDex.value = ArmorMaxDex;
	}Else{
	    ACDex.value = DexMod;
        }
    }Else{ 
        if(ShieldMaxDex => DexMod) {
	    ACDex.value = ShieldMaxDex;
        }Else{
	    ACDex.value = DexMod;
        }
    }

greetings,

I'm unable to find solution for dreamweaver reporting syntax error with the following page:

http://www.redskyjewelry.com/test_product_detail.html

I am revamping my website so the css is not set up for this page but that's okay. I have put in the various javascripts based on the product so the page is similar to a template. The syntax error is for the second set of boxes, the bracelet length options, and specifically for line with:

form.amount.value = 6.5 inches;

from the following script--


<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function BraceletLength(form)
{

if (form.os0.value == "6.5 inches")
{
form.amount.value = 6.5 inches;
form.item_number.value = "6.5 inches";
}

if (form.os0.value == "7 inches")
{
form.amount.value = 7 inches;
form.item_number.value = "7 inches";
}

if (form.os0.value == "7.5 inches")
{
form.amount.value = 7.5 inches;
form.item_number.value = "7.5 inches";
}

if (form.os0.value == "8 inches")
{
form.amount.value = 8 inches;
form.item_number.value = "8 inches";
}


}
</SCRIPT>

I hope I have included enough information and I thank any input into this glitch I am having. I'll check back tomorrow, and thank you.

Dreamweaver is giving me a syntax error, but i dont understand what is wrong.
i copied the line from the source code of the demo file included in the download and it it still telling me there is a syntax error.

obviously something is wrong bc my slider isnt auto-sliding.





so then i tried copying and pasting from the source code of the web page i got the slider from (http://www.ndoherty.biz/demos/coda-slider/2.0/)

Dreamweaver then moved the syntax error warning to the line that only contains my closing script tag




what am i doing wrong?
why am i getting syntax errors?
how can i make this thing autoslide?

full code available at: http://mydomainsample.com/fire_rebuild

Hi,

I'm trying to render 14 same sized images on a webpage using a Javascript, I've used in the past, but now can't seem to get it to work. Getting a Syntax Error. On Page http://www.newenglandonline.net/index.fix.html

The ERROR appears to be on the following; line 270: var imageDir = ;

[CODE]


<script type="text/javascript">


(function() {





var rotator = document.getElementById(rotator);


var imageDir = ;




var delayInSeconds = 3;








var images = [Cannon_top.jpg,Mount-Washington-Summer.jpg,Mount-Washington-Winter.jpg,Boston_Charles.jpg,Boston_Harbor.jpg,Boston_Harbor_night.jpg,Zakim Bridge.jpg,Edgartown.jpg,GayHeadLighthouse.jpg,HighlandLight.jpg,Newport.jpg,Bridgeport.jpg,Eastpoin tLight.jpg];











var num = 0;




var changeImage = function() {


var len = images.length;





rotator.src = imageDir + images[num++];


if (num == len) {





num = 0;


}





};


setInterval(changeImage, delayInSeconds * 1000);





})();


</script>

[CODE]

Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I've been learning Javascript for a few days using code academy. I've come across this issue, and I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great.

// Check if the user is ready to play!
confirm("I am ready to play!");
var age = prompt("What's your age?");
if (age < 13) {
console.log("I take no responsiblity, but you are allowed to play")
} else {
console.log("Have fun!")
}
console.log("You are at a Justin Bieber concert, and you hear this lyric 'Lace my shoes off, start racing.'")
console.log("Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, 'Who wants to race me?'")
var userAnswer = prompt("Do you want to race Bieber on stage?");
if userAnswer === "yes" {
console.log("You and Bieber start racing. It's neck and neck! You win by a shoelace!");
} else {
console.log("Oh no! Bieber shakes his head and sings 'I set a pace, so I can race without pacing.'");
}

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: Code:

:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

I have this code:
Code:

grpDiv = $$('div:([rel*=' + txt_val + '])');

Which when operaterated on, we have: Code:

 grpDiv = $$('div:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

This error:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: Code:

:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

Is new. The code in question has been around for about a year and no issues with prototype 1.6.1. Yet we upgraded to 1.7, and this error started showing.

any ideas what this could be and how to fix it?

thanks

I'm a PHP guy and haven't used jQuery much. I have a script I found in a book and I am trying to get working and am having trouble. It's a drop down list. I am using it in place of an HTML select box, so I want to pass the value selected from the list along with the form in a hidden field. My question is how do I extract the value out of the JS function and get it into the hidden field?

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  createDropDown();

  $(".dropdown dt a").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var dropID = $(this).closest("dl").attr("id");
    $("#" + dropID).find("ul").toggle();
  });

  $(document).bind('click', function(e) {
    var $clicked = $(e.target);
    if (! $clicked.parents().hasClass("dropdown"))
      $(".dropdown dd ul").hide();
  });


  $(".dropdown dd ul a").click(function() {
    var dl = $(this).closest("dl");
    var dropID = dl.attr("id");
    var text = $(this).html();
    var source = dl.prev();
    $("#" + dropID + " dt a").html(text);
    $("#" + dropID + " dd ul").hide();
    source.val($(this).find("span.value").html())
  });
});

function createDropDown() {
  var selects = $("select.dropdown_value");
  var idCounter = 1;
  selects.each(function() {
    var dropID = "dropdown_" + idCounter;
    var source = $(this);
    var selected = source.find("option[selected]");
    var options = $("option", source);
    source.after('<dl id="' + dropID + '" class="dropdown"></dl>');
    $("#" + dropID).append('<dt><a href="#">' + selected.text() + '<span class="value">' + selected.val() + '</span></a></dt>');
    $("#" + dropID).append('<dd><ul></ul></dd>');
    options.each(function() {
      $("#" + dropID + " dd ul").append('<li><a href="#">' + $(this).text() + '<span class="value">' + $(this).val() + '</span></a></li>');
    });
    idCounter++;
  });
}

I'm learning to program, and am having some issues with the syntax of my "if" statement. I've looked online but still can't get it to work. Here's the code:

Code:

function checks(){
	if(document.myform.checkbox.checked == true){
		window.open("http://www.espn.html", "mywindow");
	}
	else{
		document.write("hello world");
	}
}
//document.write("hello world");}

I know the function is being called properly because when I hit "submit" on the form the document.write("hello world"); statement prints on a new page. But for some reason when I call the function and that part is commented out, nothing happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried looking online but can't figure anything out. Thanks in advance.

Can someone explain to me the differences between the following code snippets? Mainly i don't understand the purpose of using prototype and not sure if there is a functional difference between the syntax of declaring functions.

Code:

var myObj = function () {
  this._myInt = 1;
}

myObj.prototype = { 
  myNewFunction: function() {
    this._myInt = 2;
  }
}

VERSUS

Code:

var myObj = function () {
  this._myInt = 1;

  function myNewFunction(){
    this._myInt = 2;
  }
}

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<style>
	.errorWrapper {padding:0; margin:0; list-style-type:none; position:relative;}
	.errorBox {padding:5px; position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px; background-color:#BADA55;
		border-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px;
		box-shadow:2px 2px 2px #808080; -moz-box-shadow:2px 2px 2px #808080; -webkit-box-shadow:2px 2px 2px #808080;}
	li.errorBox {display:none;}
	</style>

	<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
	<a href="#" onClick="show('test')">test</a>
	<ul class="errorWrapper">
		<li id="test" class="errorBox">This should remain hidden until the link is clicked. Lorem ispum dolor sit amet. Placetne tibi? Mihi placet.</li>
	</ul>
</body>

<!-- Contents of test.js -->
<!-- function show(boxName) {alert(boxName); document.getElementByID(boxName).style.display="block";} -->

</html>

wtf is wrong with this? I'm brand spanking new to js, so I don't even know how to begin to troubleshoot this. As far as syntax goes I haven't seen any glaring errors, which leads me to believe I'm trying to do something illegal? The alert box shows up, and the boxName variable contains the correct contents (the ID of the element I want to show), so I dunno what the problem is...

Quick reproduction of the problem above.

I keep getting myself into trouble because I tend to use my Java reference when coding Javascript, and of course Javascript doesn't support all Java functions.

I've just discovered that apparently Javascript doesn't support the trim() function. But curiously, if I code it as:
mystring.trim()
then Firefox will handle it without any errors. (I haven't actually checked to see if whitespace is removed from around the string.)
But when I code it like this:
trim(mystring)
then firefox gives an error.

I've also found a couple of situations where I've made syntax errors, and Firefox gives no error message. This makes debugging tricky, since the only resource I have available is Firefox's Error Console. Safari has no error reporting whatsoever, AFAIK. MSIE seems to find some errors that Firefox misses, but I don't have MSIE on my main computer, so it's a nuisance to use.

As a hobbyist, I have no budget to buy Javascript development tools. Is there something free available that does a better job of finding errors?

i get this error when ever i try to process the form:

There was a SyntaxError: Unexpected token < error due to an parsererror condition.

Hi all,
I have some card/images and would like to have the first one displayed.Which i can do.

Then when I mouse click on the card/image it goes to another image for say 2 secs, then with out clicking goes back to the orignal card. I have played with the syntax for ages and also looked on the net and cannot get it right.

This is what I have so far.
Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
var back = new Image();
back.src = "back.gif";// preloads the image.

var ace = new Image();
ace.src = "0.gif"; //Preload the Image

var two = new Image();
two.src = "1.gif";// preloads the image.

var three = new Image();
three.src = "2.gif";// preloads the image.

var four = new Image();
four.src = "3.gif";// preloads the image.

var five = new Image();
five.src = "4.gif";// preloads the image.
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img name="img0">
<img name="img1"> // what is this for?

<script>

document.images['img0'].src = back.src;//displays image
/*How do I have one card diplayed then mouseclick on that one card and another card will display for 2 secs 
then the card will go back to original card.
*/
</script>

</body>
</html>

Any ideas ?
Thanks heaps
Shayne
