Hello all out there I am going to post this in 2 separate views.

I am working on an assignment from this link

http://books.google.ca/books?id=aG_T2aD ... MonthCell()&source=bl&ots=EJXyGF-tbI&sig=vbgqgua2uSaL6DWp0Rx_BYoZ0z8&hl=en&ei=9C7gTLmiAYaXnAeywLWRDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=writeMonthCell()&f=false

if u scroll down to case 1
is what I am working on

included in the case are 2 other files as to the one i have to work on

i used all the proper steps and instructions and i think I have the correcting coding for my form

however my program still does not work

here is the exact code i am using
let me know if anyone sees any errors, as I am convinced i have it correct?

Here is my code:

<html>
<head>

<title>The Lighthouse</title>
<link href="lhouse.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type"text/javascript" src"list.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function amountTotal() { // return sum of values to amount array
total=0;
for(var i=0; i<amount.length; i++) { // set variable to 0
total+=amount[i];
}
return total;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<div id="title">
<img src="logo.jpg" alt="The Lighthouse" />
The Lighthouse<br />
543 Oak Street<br />
Delphi, KY   89011<br/>
(542) 555-7511
</div>

<div id="data_list">
<script type=”text/javascript”> // set up variables of rows and cellspaces
document.write(“<table border=’1′ rules=’rows’ cellspacing=’0′>”);
document.write(“<tr><th>Date</th><th>Amount</th><th>First Name</th>”);
document.write(“<th>Last Name</th><th>Address</th></tr>”);

for (i=0; i< amount.length; i++) { // create a loop in counter of variable starting at 0 and increase of 1 increments
if (i%2==0) document.write(“<tr>”);
else document.write(“<tr class=’yellowrow’>”); // have every row with a yellow background use a loop

document.write(“<td>”+date[i]+”</td>”);
document.write(“<td class=’amt’>”+amount[i]+”</td>”); // have values of the dates
document.write(“<td>”+firstName[i]+”</td>”);
document.write(“<td>”+lastName[i]+”</td>”);
document.write(“<td>”);
document.write(street[i]+”<br />”);
document.write(city[i]+”, “+state[i]+” “+zip[i]); // zip arrays for address
document.write(“</td>”);
document.write(“</tr>”);
}
document.write(“</table>”);
</script>

</div>

<div id="totals">
<script type=”text/javascript”> // use script elements in HTML
document.write(“<table border=’1′ cellspacing=’1′>”);
document.write(“<tr><th id=’sumTitle’ colspan=’2′>Summary</th></tr>”);
document.write(“<tr><th>Contributors</th>”);
document.write(“<td>”+amount.length+”</td></tr>”);
document.write(“<tr><th>Amount</th>”);
document.write(“<td>$”+amountTotal()+”</td></tr>”);
document.write(“</table>”);
</script>

</div>

</body>

here is the exact code i am usingYour code contains word-processing characters. You must create your code using a text editor or convert it to plain text.

my code is word processing? how so

as i did the coding all on textwrangler which is totally for javascript etc?

Does all my lines seem wrong of what i typed? bad format? or what exactly did i go wrong?
thanksThe double and single quote characters ( “ ” ’ ) are incorrect, they should be " and ' respectively. I'm not familiar with that editor, but it must have a way of fixing that.

You must have copied it from somewhere using copy and paste.

<script type=”text/javascript”> will simply not function.

Textwrangler is the text editor for MAC computers.

For all my quotations

is it just my " and ' that seems to be wrong

or are all my actual structures incorrect as well?

give me an example of one line, as now i am so confused.

thanks

There are many instances of incorrect pattern quotes.

document.write(“<td>”+date[i]+”</td>”);

Put these right, then test you code again using your error console. You should not look to this forum just to identify syntax errors. Firebug will do that for you.

I am going over my notes and so far I am not successful on this. Nothing is working it seems.

What would be the proper way to type out this small portion of code such as for.

<title>The Lighthouse</title>
<link href="lhouse.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="list.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function amountTotal() { // return sum of values to amount array
total=0;
for(var i=0; i<amount.length; i++) { // set variable to 0
total+=amount[i];
}
return total;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

thanks all.

One more time:-

You do not have any array named amount, so there is nothing to add up.

Here is all my code

<script type="text/javascript">

function amountTotal() {
var amountTotal=0;
var total=0;

var<=0; var=amountTotal+total )
{
document.write(i+ <"/br>" );
}

<td>date</td>
document.write("<td>”+date+”</td>”);

thanks all for taking the time to look it all over

There are still numerous cases of incorrect quotes in your code. Examples:-

document.write(city[i]+", “+state[i]+” “+zip[i]);
document.write("</td>”);
document.write("</tr>”);
}
document.write(“</table>”);

You must get rid of all of those. Use global find and replace in your editor.
Then use your error console.
Until you do that nothing more can be done for you.
