javascript corrupted?

Jean Pierre Daviau · Feb 12, 2006

I tried this in iexplorer, mozilla, opera.

var in = 1;
switch( in ){
case 1:
in = "-1-";
break;

case 2:
in = 2;
break;

default:
document.writeln(' <FONT COLOR="black">dddddddd </FONT>');
}

alert(in);
document.writeln('<FONT COLOR="black">ffffffffffffffffff</FONT> ');

Is it not supposed to work?

'in' is a reserved word in JavaScript, do not use it for variable names.
This line causes an error message in the Firefox Javascript console of
'missing variable name'.

Change the variable name to something else and maybe it will 'work'.

'Work'? What result did you expect? What did you get? Error messages?

Nothing.
A blank page with ie debugger and Frontpage debugger.

So it was hard to find....

Well, I should have remember. But I did not play with JavaScript for 4
years at least...

Thank you

Nothing either. I think my javascript is corrupted.

<SCRIPT type="javascript" language="JavaScript">
var entrant = 1;

switch( entrant ){
case 1:
entrant = "-1-";
break;

case 2:
entrant = 2;
break;

default:
document.writeln(' <FONT COLOR="black">dddddddd </FONT>');
}

alert(entrant);
document.writeln('<FONT COLOR="black">ffffffffffffffffff</FONT> ');
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>

<SCRIPT type="javascript" language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

Unknown script type and language is deprecated, use:

var entrant = 1;

switch( entrant ){
case 1:
entrant = "-1-";
break;

case 2:
entrant = 2;
break;

default:
document.writeln(' <FONT COLOR="black">dddddddd </FONT>');

You should update your HTML too, the font element has been deprecated
for quite a while. An HTML 4 compliant alternative is:

}

alert(entrant);
document.writeln('<FONT COLOR="black">ffffffffffffffffff</FONT> ');
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>

<SCRIPT type="javascript" language="JavaScript">

As above, error with type & remove language attribute.

<!--

No need for this, just remove it.

alert()
document.writeln('<FONT COLOR="black">ffffffffffffffffff</FONT> ');
//-->

And remove this one too.

No. I ran it through JSLint, and it reported:

Error:

Problem at line 1 character 5: Expected an identifier and instead saw 'in'.

var in = 1;

'in' is a reserved word.

Try it here. This page does not work for me:
http://www.jeanpierredaviau.com/delme.html

It does not work for me. But I do can go on websites with javascripted pages
? ?????????????

It seems only some core javascript dont work like functions or alert().

Jean Pierre Daviau · Feb 13, 2006

javascript:var entrant = 1;switch( entrant ){case 1:entrant =
"-1-";break;case 2:entrant = 2;break;default:}alert(entrant);

the previous works in the addres bar.

It seems like bad code doesn't work.

1. The script tag should be:

<script type="text/javascript">

2. There is no element in your page with the id of "body", so
your reference to document.getElementById("body").offsetHeight
causes a run-time error.
