This is the code I have so far, but something seems to be wrong with it. I don't know what though. Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

	var tNow = new Date()
	var tlocDate = tNow.toLocaleString()
	var tDate = tlocDate.substring(0,10)
	document.write("H2><CENTER>Welcome, today is "+tDate+"</CENTER></H2>")
	var intro1 = "Hi, thanks for visiting our Web site, but we have moded. Please make a note "

	var intro4 = "to be moved automatically to our new site."
	var introMsg = intro1+intro2+intro3+intro4
	document.write("<H4><FONT Color='firebrick'>"+introMsg+"</H4></FONT">

One thing that jumps out in the code presented is the above needs to have a closing ")".And also you are closing your string in the above inside the </FONT> tag.
Should be:

document.write("<H4><FONT Color='firebrick'>"+introMsg+"</H4></FONT>");

Try debugging in Firefox with Firebug or if you are using IE8 hit f12 and use the developer tools. The error messages will be cryptic but it will give you a general idea of where the problem lies.

It seems that something else is wrong or missing..It's still not working correctly

Member Avatar for scrappedcola 
document.write("H2><CENTER>Welcome, today is "+tDate+"</CENTER></H2>")

The above should be:

document.write("<H2><CENTER>Welcome, today is "+tDate+"</CENTER></H2>")

Every tag needs to have an opening < and a closing > and every <tag> set needs to end with the corresponding </tag> set. For example if you have a <p> you need to end with </p>.

Isn't that the same as I already have it?

Member Avatar for scrappedcola

You are missing the "<" in front of the h2 in the code you provided.

Hi,
Your code looks fine, all it needs is a little arrangement in the order of the tags last posted by urtrivedi and including changes made by scrappedcola. Might as well give it a try and see if i can fit your needs...
