Javascript function is not being called from button press
Hey guys im really new to xhtml and javascript
The problem i am getting is when i click submit the function greeting is not being called.
the function should get the value from the text field store that as var name, then print a message based on the time of day.
i just cannot get the button to run the function!
Please if you have a fix, can you keep it simple so i can understand.
Thanks
the button should call the function greeting(), when i click the button nothing happens.
