How come when I put the correct answer into the text box it comes up with "No. Please try again."?


<HTML>

<HEAD>

<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Sothink HTML Editor">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var answer, //
number1, //
number2; //

number1 = Math.round(1+Math.random()*10);
number2 = Math.round(1+Math.random()*10);

//Prompting the user
window.alert("How much is " + number1 + " times " + number2 + " ?");

function check() {
//Calculating the answer
answer = number1 * number2;

//If answer is correct
if (studentAnswer == answer) {
window.status = "Very good!";
}

//If answer is wrong
if (studentAnswer != answer) {
window.status = "No. Please try again.";
}
}

function newQuestion(){
number1 = Math.round(1+Math.random()*10);
number2 = Math.round(1+Math.random()*10);
//Prompting the user
window.alert("How much is " + number1 + " times " + number2 + " ?");
}
</SCRIPT>
