Good Afternoon,

When the page below is loaded an error message appears, reading

'Java Script error

Description: Unterminated string constant
Source:http://www.harmonixconstruction.com/contact1.html
Line 12'

Can anybody tell me what to do to fix this?

Many Thanks

You need to look through your JavaScript for areas where strings are declared, assigned or whatever for situation like: "mystr1 or 'mystr2 with no corisponding closing quote.

The code in /scroller/scroll.js looks a little suspect in the way the mix of double and single quotes have been used.

I can also tell you that validating your page with the W3C validation tool results in 22 errors on this page. You shoul fix these. Other pages have similar problems.

You are also using propriatory styling attributes. You should get rid of these and use standards compliant css.

I should add that Firefox does not throw a JavaScript error so the error may being caused by something that only IE executes.

Many Thanks Geoff,

I did test in Firefox and realised that the error was not happening, I will go and check the quotes as you suggest.

I am not sure how I go about fixing the 22 errors that are identified by the W3C validation tool. Sorry to be a pain but could you offer any tips?

Kind Regards

Dan

You just have to work through them fixing what it tells you is wrong.

HINT: Always fix in order as problems can be caused by a cascade effect.
