What are you smoking kid?
In Java every statement (unless it is a compound statement) needs to be terminated with a semicolon (compound statements need not be, as they're demarkated by braces which act as terminators).
Your "Java" example looks more like Visual Basic to me.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I did some more investigation, and found out that the only book I have on Java (as opposed to JavaScript) was worth what I paid for it: It was given to me as "surplus materials" at the library fundraiser auction two years ago. Now I know why they got rid of it.
Now that I look at it closer, it seems to be a book on programming tricks using the quirks of one particular interpreter. It's in "cookbook" form. I thought it was a reference book, since the library's reference department had it, and stamped REFERENCE all over it. (Maybe I should have read the preface.)
I am writing an appropriate word across the front cover:
"Void"
It reminds me of an economics book I used to have, which purported to be an econ textbook, but which actually distorted economic theory to advocate socialism.

Glad you got rid of that book. The content it had was kind of giving us fits... ;-)

IE is correct; according to the 'standard' semicolons after javascript statements are optional. Or, as I just read; 'automatically inserted by the parser when it encounters newlines'. Read the ECMAScript standard document if you like.. javascript is approximately equal to ( and syntatically identical to ) ECMAscript. I'm not sure which ecmascript version corresponds to which JS version, but the semicolon thing has been around since before I saw any javascript. If other browsers aren't allowing this, they're not using conformant ECMAscript parsers.

it's a word doc, do a search in it for 'automatic semicolon insertion'. saying that though; I'd personally recommend a real semicolon after every statement. ( in javascript and english. )
perhaps you're getting confused about java / javascript yourself there MidiMagic
... but, the OP did insist on repeatadly 'saying' java even after correction... the original code is html + javascript + asp with vbscript, without a hint of java. and it's way too long for me to read more than half of it.who had the java.* name first?
