TRIVIA QUIZ
:)
Hi,
Sorry if my English is not good, I'm from Brazil and my English is so so.
I bought the book "Beginning JavaScript" in my country (Brazil) and now I'm with a trouble.
My question is about Trivia Quiz; I'm having difficult in do the program run in my computer. I have worked with Front Page and when I put the strings in the html space and I have seeing the result, which appear a message that is written: "script error". I don't know why appear it. Because I put the same string of the book.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Wrox Online Trivia Quiz</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
function answerCorrect (questionNumber, answer)
{
// declare a variable to hold return value
var correct = false;
// if answer provided is same as correct answer then correct variable is true
if (answer == answers[questionNumber])
correct = true;
// return whether the answer was correct (true or false)
return correct;
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
// Questions variable will holds questions
var questions = new Array();
var answers = new Array();
// define question 1
questions[0] = new Array();
// the question
questions[0][0] = "The Beatles were";
// first choice
questions [0][1] = "A sixties rock group from Liverpool";
// second choice
questions [0][2] = "Four musically gifted insects";
// third choice
questions [0][3] = "I don't know - can I have the questions on Baseball please";
// assign answer for question 1
answers [0] = "A";
// define question 2
questions [1] = new Array();
questions [1][0] = "Homer Simpson's favorite food is";
questions [1][1] = "Fresh salad";
questions [1][2] = "Doughnuts";
questions [1][3] = "Bread and water";
questions [1][4] = "Apples";
// assign answer for question 2
answers[1] = "B";
// define question 3
questions [2] = new Array();
questions [2][0] = "Lisa Simpson plays which musical instrument";
questions [2][1] = "Clarinet";
questions [2][2] = "Oboe";
questions [2][3] = "Saxophone";
questions [2][4] = "Tubular Bells";
// assign answer for question 3
answers[2] = "C";
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The message error says that I'm missing to put ";" in line 12 character 9.
Why appear it, if is the same string of the book and what I may do in this case?
Thanks a lot!
