Simplify your functions...
I suspect that you are missing a quote " somewhere...

Try to remove "javascript:" prefix inside "value" attribute. Function
eval() accept valid JavaScript code, but value: will generate syntax
error.

`javascript:' is a LabelStatement. It will only cause a syntax error with
eval() if LabelStatements are not supported by the implementation. However,
this is unlikely as it requires an implementation of ECMAScript Ed. 1 or 2.
Nevertheless, the LabelStatement is unnecessary here.

Please learn how threaded discussions on Usenet work and reply to the

Google Groups' flawed Web interface.
