Hello. I hope someone can help me. I have been doing a javascript tutorial at webmonkey.com. everything was going along great, until i got to the section on functions. i understand how they work, but when i did the exercise, and opened my file in my browser (IE 5.0), nothing happened. it just displays a blank page. no script errors, no "page cannot be displayed", just a blank page. i thought i was doing it wrong, so i pasted their answer to the exercise into another file, opened it, and again, nothing. then i commented out the function code, so that just the statements inside the function were being executed, and that worked fine. so somehow, the browser isn't recognizing functions at all, or something of that nature. anyone ever come across something like this, or have any ideas? it's driving me nuts, because i know i'm doing it right, and i cant keep going with the tutorial if i can't do functions! please, any help would be great!

was this simple. You have to call the function to get it to do something. You never call it. You have no events called out to start any functions.
