JScript: alert boxes not appearing

by **BIT0220-Iftekhar** Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:18 am

I'm kinda newbie in JS and trying some basics. Going through Wrox's Beginning Jscript fourth edition.

I copied a piece of code from the book. Pasted them in notepad,saved it as .html and opened it with Firefox 5,like the book instructed. But the desired output is not there.
Below is my code -

Code:: <html> <body bgcolor=”WHITE”> <p>Paragraph 1</p> <script type=”text/javascript”> // Script block 1 alert(“First Script Block”); </script> <p>Paragraph 2</p> <script type=”text/javascript”> // Script block 2 document.bgColor = “RED”; alert(“Second Script Block”); </script> <p>Paragraph 3</p> </body> </html>

The book says,
"Save the ﬁle to your hard drive as ch1_examp2.htm and then load it into your browser. When you load
the page, you should see the ﬁrst paragraph, Paragraph 1, followed by a message box displayed by the
ﬁrst script block. The browser halts its parsing until you click the OK button"

But there was no alert box. Instead,a page like below appeared.

Is there anything wrong with my code segment,or any other issue?

happens when you directly copy code from pdf.

Replace ->”<- with ->"<-

Clue-
type shift + '

well,I don't get your answer. Perhaps you worried about the quotation signs which didn't appear properly inside code tags.

Edit: I just got clarity of your answer. And it worked Very Happy

I'm afraid I wouldn't have figured it out ever.
A rep++

is worth too little for this help. Wink

Nope. Perhaps you didn't notice the quotation marks were appearing inside your notepad code inappropriately.

Lets try another way.
I said, this happens when you copy code from pdf directly instead of typing.

And I said, replace
Replace ->”<- with ->"<-

Lets try some zooming.
open your code in notepad, and then select all, make the font 26.
Now, after

Code:: <body bgcolor=”WHITE”>

Type this line, AGAIN.

I hope then you will understand what I am talking about
