Any Idea Why This Wont work

[glenelkins]

Hi any ideas why the confirm dialog wont show?

[code]
// Check if the user has finished creating their profile
if ($finished == 0) {
?>
<script language="javascript">
if (confirm ('Have You Finished Creating Your Wedding Page?')) {
alert ("Ok");
} else {
alert ("Bummer")
</script>
<?
}
[/code]

no closing bracket on the else statement, no semi colon line termination after the second alert, and only short php tag used to return to php?

Dunno if those are "bugs" per say, my javascript is shaky...

Javascript doesn't insist on semi-colons after each statement, but the lack of the closing bracket would certainly prevent that code from running.

I have had errors from validator.w3c.org that 'language' is not a valid attribute for a script tag, though I think I have had js running in tags like that before. Use type="text/javascript" anyway, I don't know if that will fix it, it looks OK to me.

We must be nearing the end of the world - computers are not obeying our command!

Well they both worked for me.
