this is the page its on

http://www.plugwatson.com/portfolio/index.html

When you click on the link it sends to the CGI by calling getURL()... but it doesn't get to call getURL... it was working a moment ago when all the equals = signs were erroneously single = signs . Since I changed them to the correct == the script stopped making it to the getURL function! Any Ideas?

P.S. I just tried to revert the == signs back and it didn't work as before so that can't be it

Other changes I made were the quotes in the if chain from ' to "

Does anyone see it?

You don't have any semicolons, but I doubt that would effect the script.:confused:

well that suprises me! I can't believe I made that mistake, I don't get an error report and I believe semi colons are out with JS, I will do now, thanks again
