Hi guys, I've had some problems with a script I've been toying around with. I'm new with javascript so I started to fool around with inputs and outputs with functions. One problem I've come across is this: when I have a function thats only designated with outputs, it appears first before the output title I've created. Here's the code:

//Simple function to output the results into a table
function GameResult()
{
var top = 0
output("<table border='1'>")
output("<tr><td>" + away + "</td><td>" + awaypoints + "</td></tr>")
output("<tr><td>" + home + "</td><td>" + homepoints + "</td></tr>")
output("</table><br>")
return top
}

...

//INPUT
date = inputString("What is the date that the game was played on? (MM/DD/YY)")
games = inputNum("How many games were played on that day?")
for (;;) {
if(games >= i == false) break
home = inputString("Enter the name: ")
homepoints = inputNum("Enter the score of the home team: ", 0)
away = inputString("Enter the name of the away team: ")
awaypoints = inputNum("Enter the score of the away team: ", 0)
i = i + 1
}

//PROCESSING
results = GameResult()

//OUTPUT
output("<h1>Results for: " + date + "</h1>")
output(results)

</script>
</body>
</html>

I was just curious as to why it comes up first, and what are some solutions I could do to fix this?

where is the rest of your script? you call to other function but you do not have them included in your post.

Sorry about that, this is the full script:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Program</title>

<script language="javascript">

//Simple function to output the results of a game in a simple table
function GameResult()
{
var top = 0
output("<table border='1'>")
output("<tr><td>" + away + "</td><td>" + awaypoints + "</td></tr>")
output("<tr><td>" + home + "</td><td>" + homepoints + "</td></tr>")
output("</table><br>")
return top
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

<script language="javascript">

//PLACE YOUR PROGRAM HERE
var date
var games
var i = 1
var results
var home, homepoints, away, awaypoints

//INPUT
date = inputString("What is the date that the game was played on? (MM/DD/YY)")
games = inputNum("How many games were played on that day?")
for (;;) {
if(games >= i == false) break
home = inputString("Enter the name of the home team: ")
homepoints = inputNum("Enter the score of the home team: ", 0)
away = inputString("Enter the name of the away team: ")
awaypoints = inputNum("Enter the score of the away team: ", 0)
i = i + 1
}

//PROCESSING
results = GameResult()

//OUTPUT
output("<h1>Basketball Results for: " + date + "</h1>")
output(results)

</script>
</body>
</html>

@brandonH: I only call on one function in this program, and thats the table values. I just cant figure out why the table comes up. I cant think of a reason as to why it does this.

what about the calls such as :

inputString()
output()
inputNum()

those are calls to functions, wether or not they are defines by you does not matter. is this a client side or server side script?
