date message script from this site

[darlakay]

i got the date message script from this site, but cannot get it to work.
http://javascript.internet.com/messages/date.html
when i load the page in IE, it gives this error:
Line: 77
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0

line 77 on my page is:
document.write(dateMsg());

and the page does not display the message i put in for the current date. couldn't get it to display in netscape either. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

It looks like this function

dateMsg()

is not being found by JS engine,make sure its defined in the JS code some where on the page

[darlakay]

line 48 has:
function dateMsg() {
.....
is this what you mean? sorry i don't know much about this; i just got the script from this site. is there any way i can contact the author of this particular script?
thanks!

Take a look at the last line of the dateMsg() function

return("Today is " + mon + " " + day + ", " + year + "."); // returns
default

the comments are in 2 lines make sure that its like below

// returns default

In my opinion that should take care of it..let me know

that was it! i did go through looking for wrapped lines, but didn't see that one. thank you so much for your help!
this script is something that i had been needing for a long time and i am so appreciative that you have helped me to be able to use it!

Is it possible to edit the function to show the message for tomorrow?
