    function script not working

    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this script it's tearing my hair out. As you can probably guess by the code I'm a beginner.

    All help appreciated.
    Cheers
    Paul

    <html>
    <head>
    <script>
    <!--
    var numCorrect=0;

    function takeTest() {
    var response="";
    var points=0;

    var q1 = "What is the price of the Teak Elephants?";
    var a1 = "$55.00";

    var q2 = From what type of wood is the lion carved?";
    var a2 = "EBONY";

    var q3 = "What is the last name of both carvers on this page?";
    var a3 = "MANE";

    response = prompt(q1,"$0.00");
    if (response) points=runningTotal ((response==a1) ? 1 : 0);
    alert(points);

    response = prompt(q2,"");
    if (response) points=runningTotal ((response.toUpperCase()==a2) ? 1 : 0);
    alert(points);
    response = prompt(q3,"");
    if (response) points=runningTotal((response.toUpperCase()==a3) ? 1 : 0);
    alert("You answered a total of " + points + " correctly.");
    numCorrect = 0;
    points = 0;
    }

    function runningTotal(i) {
    numCorrect += i;
    return numCorrect;

    }

    //-->
    </script>

    </head>

    <form>
    <input type="button" class="button" value="Quiz" onClick="takeTest();">
    </form>

      Put an opening quotation mark before "From" on q2.

      Also (as a matter of coding practices), you don't need the form tags. You should add a <body> tag. You don't need the class attribute on the input. And you could give your input a name attribute.

        Actually, you should have the form tags. NS requires it to display the form.

              sorry to be a pain

              But can anybody spot why this also isn't working?
              Can you also tell me what you all use as an editor when you are coding?

              Many thanks

                Why not try this:

                Code:
                <html> 
<head> 

<script language = "Javascript"> 
<!-- 

function returnValue() { 
var sampleVar; 
sampleVar = document.myForm.input1.value * document.myForm.input2.value; 
alert("Result is: " + sampleVar);
} 
//--> 
</script> 
</head> 

<body> 

<form name="myForm"> 
Multiply <input type="text" name="input1"> 
By <input type="text" name="input2"> 
<input type ="button" value="Result" onClick="returnValue();"> 
</form> 

</body> 
</html>
                I use Edit+2, the best darn editor there is!
