I can't get the unordered search to return a true value on this page (it's at the bottom in the code)

And I just have no idea what to do here, to get it to work

Any help is appreciated, thanks

I looked at the second one first and at a glance at line 46

function GetElement
{....

should be

function GetElement()
{...

Well that will solve one problem, later on. Thanks

I'm terrible at this stuff :(

First one:

In the function UnOrderedSearch(key) you haven't declared "n" as a variable.

Easy way to spot errors is to turn on the option in your browser that reads something similiar to "Display notification about script errors".

I had that on, but it tells me there are errors on lines that it isn't possible for there to be errors on.

And I don't need to declare n do I? Since n is the text box input.

It's used as a local variable there, which means outside of the function it doesn't exist.

As to the line numbers they're generally pretty good for me, but get a little fuzzy when you have external JS files being pulled in. Also need to watch line wrapping on some editors.
