I just started trying to learn javascript and copied this example from a book. I keep getting the '800a0401' Expected end of statement error for this line:

var myNumber; (the entire code is below)

Does anyone know why I get this error. I'm trying to get a basic bit of code to work, then move on to other more complicated coding.

Thanks!

<html>

<head>
<title>My Number was 101</title>
</head>

<body>
<%
var myNumber;
for (myNumber = 1; myNumber <= 10; myNumber++)
{
%>
<P>
<STRONG>The Number this time is <%=myNumber%></STRONG>
</P>
<%
}
%>
</body>

</html>

He is using server-side Javascript in ASP, which is just fine.
The code is ok except for the missing @language directive. Since the default scripting language for ASP is VBScript, you have to specify Javascript at the top of the page if you want to use it.

<%@language=Javascript%>
