[Jherald Lacambra]

i have problem posting my code code in here.. i replace my code with the specified characters that you want but it seems that im still in trouble... my code is 923 lines in my ide.. but i cant post it in here.. is there any other way for you to see my codes?

[Eric Pascarello]

Do yourself a favor, get Mozilla or Firefox and look at the JavaScript Console and look for an error message.

i have netscape 7.1 for javascript debugging.. actually it is a small dynamic page(JSP) so it has 923 lines of code.. a simple function that is being called onload of the page was not called like putting alert to check whether the function is called or not.. netscape browser didn't detect errors so i can't figure out why its the onload function doesn't work

If Nestcape doesn't detect errors, it's probably not suitable for JavaScript debugging. The Mozilla and Firefox browsers have a JavaScript console that will show errors. (I actually thought Netscape had that too, but maybe they removed it.)

If the problem is in JavaScript, then the JSP page itself doesn't matter; what does matter is what HTML/JavaScript code it produces. If you post a relevant excerpt of that, one might take a look and try to figure out what's going on.

i cant post my code... I replace "<" with &1t but still i can't post same problem arises.. how can post my code in a different way?

[Yuriy Zilbergleyt]

if there's an onclick property on one of your elements, replace it with "on click" or even "on&#99;click". Similar for whatever else is being complained about.

But please do not post all 923 lines of your page. Rather, take the time to pare it down to what is relevant.

When i remove that part of the code, the onload function in the body seems to be working.. what goes wrong with that code

[Yuriy Zilbergleyt]

A few things.

1. When posting, replace &1t; with &lt;
2. When posting, use the CODE UBB option to preserve indentation
3. replace lines like this:

var pagesa1 = <%out.println(pagesa[0]);%>;

with lines like like this

var pagesa1 = <%=pagesa[0]%>;

Hopefully after that it will be easier to read.
