I'm a rank beginner with Javascript. The offending page is at http://www.longerstrongerliving.com/stresscalc.htm.

On loading the page, there is an "Expected J" at line 13, character 25.

After putting a numeric value in each of the text boxes for the 17 questions, there is an "Object Expected" error, line 148, character 1.

Furthermore, the "Total Score" text box stubbornly refuses to display anything, despite the numerous wild guesses I have made about code.

Are there any gurus willing to take a look and offer some welcome advice?

:confused:

Hi there,

Well there is nothing big problem with code :)

Just Missing ";" semicolons and field names should not be the numeric

Here is the working code

Katarey,

I am so GRATEFUL for your quick and effective response! The page is up and running beautifully.

You gave me an opportunity to refine the questionnaire using "Select Options" because the core structure of your code was sound.

If you have the time and inclination take a look at http://www.longerstrongerliving.com/tools/adaptability.htm.

Thanks again!!!!
