Variable not getting established

I have no clue about javascript, so there might be a simple problem that i just don't know about.

this is in my HTML file:

<SCRIPT type="Javascript">
<!--

picNum=1
picNumString="01"

//-->
</SCRIPT>

I dont know whats wrong, cuz when i try to run an alert telling me the value of picNum, there is an error.

<button type="button" onClick="alert(picNum)">Current pic</button>

Doesn't work... no alert even shows up.

Try
<input type="button" onClick="alert(picNum)" value="Current pic">

You had the wrong script type. This is the correct type.

<script type="text/javascript">

<SCRIPT type="Javascript">
<!--

var picNum=1;
var picNumString="01";

//-->
</SCRIPT>


:cool:

<SCRIPT type="Javascript">
<!--

var picNum=1;
var picNumString="01";

//-->
</SCRIPT>

That's optional but a good coding habit to put them. Just correcting the script type will solve the problem.
