In java you would be correct, but in javascript you need only say var or say nothing at all. I didn't bother pasting the function declaration since I pass nothing into it and I know it works already; the function is declared and called correctly but the code itself will not run.


Have a great day,
Alex

All of it must not have copied since the closing of the catch
block and the
function isn't pasted; however, my simple glance at this shows
me that
there is no type definition for x. Sorry if that's not needed.
I remember
that the var keyword was used in jscript a while back, but that
could only
be for higher level variables, per haps?

Take care,
Sina

Hi all,
I have a very simple program that, for some reason refuses to
run.  I have
this function being called by a button and that part works, but I
cannot get
an answer out of this function. It seems to stop at where I
declare x as a
variable. The code, all 12 lines of it, is below. If anyone can
point out
what I know must be a very simple error I would really appreciate
it.
function eq(){
try{
x=eval(form.in.value);
ans=(x-2)/(x*x)-4;
form.out.value=ans;

catch(err){
alert(err+": "+err.description);



Have a great day,
Alex
