Javascript, wtf?

[timtadams]

Ive been messing about with Javascript the last couple of days. Ive come across numerous issues, and worked out nearly all of them myself with Google. Now i keep getting a syntax error on a certain line, and i cant see anything wrong with it! In fact, i never had a problem with this line before, and i havnt changed it since!

I thought that maybe i had missed a parenthesis or other character somewhere in the script, however, i tried the section of code by itself, and it still has the syntax error Im a bit annoyed as its a simple bit of code too

Ive simplified it heaps and it still gives an error (SyntaxError: syntax error, line: 8 )

for ( i = 1; i <= 20; i++);
  {
  RF = Math.round(Math.random());
  if (RF <= 0.43);
    {
    a=1;
    }
[B]  else[/B]
    {
    a=2;
    }
  alert(t)
  }

wth, its an 'else' statement?! Does anyone have any idea why this may be occurring and what i can do about it?

drop the ; after if(RF <= 0.43);
That should fix the problem.

lmao

the problem occurred when i went through the whole script adding the colons i had left out (without paying much attention). So i went and removed them, but mustve missed something earlier, so i didnt think that was the problem :x ...now back to original coding to find perpetrator

cheers Hobbs

/me feels silly (i guess it is obvious i have never used javascript before )
