Can you please help me! I'm new to Javascript and I feel like I have completed my first real script, but it is not executing. Here is the code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function BRAT() {
<!--
var jubilee = new Array("one", "two", "three", "four");
var answer = document.getElementById("one", "two", "three", "four");
if (answer == one)
window.prompt("Correct");
else (answer == two, three, four)
window.prompt("Wrong");
//-->
}
</script>
<p> Why did Peter deny Jesus 3 times. </p>
<br><br><br>
<a href="javascript:BRAT();" id="one">Because Jesus told him that he would do it</a>
<a href="javascript:BRAT();" id="two">A street beggar told him it was gonna happen</a>
<a href="javascript:BRAT();" id="three">Jesus told John who told Peter</a>
<a href="javascript:BRAT();" id="four">All of the above</a>
</body>
</html>


Can someone please help me on this? :)

It is not executing what? Don't let us guess what you expect from that code. When you post a problem, post it in a clear logical way:

- I have this
- I expect this
- But it happens that.

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Wherever you learned this kind of scripting, dont go there again. Pick up a book and read about the basics.

For example here is this script doing what you intended.


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function BRAT(answer) {
if (answer == 1)
alert("Correct");
else
alert("Wrong");
}
</script>
<p> Why did Peter deny Jesus 3 times. </p>

<a href="javascript:BRAT(1);">Because Jesus told him that he would do it</a><br />
<a href="javascript:BRAT(2);">A street beggar told him it was gonna happen</a><br />
<a href="javascript:BRAT(3);">Jesus told John who told Peter</a><br />
<a href="javascript:BRAT(4);">All of the above</a><br />
