Web 'masters', I need your help!

[Adam Goi]

My school's homepage got error. Just click the link and and you'll see why.

Can anyone advise what I should do? I tried studying the html codes and I just can't figure out where to insert the missing ')' ... I did count the lines though...as you can see, I'm hopeless in this...

TIA and I hope to hear good news from the masters who lurk in Clubsnap forum!

Hi, I hope this helps you...

Line 58 of your page looks like this:

if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav16n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn.gif'); MSFPnav16h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn_a.gif'); }

There are three single quotation marks in each parenthesis with the text I've bolded, when single quotes or double quotes should always go as pairs when denoting a string. Try removing the one directly after the s in "pupiils" for each set and see if the error still comes up.

So the fix should look like:

if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav16n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn.gif'); MSFPnav16h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn_a.gif'); }

Hope this helps...

Just checked; I did not enable the option as mentioned.

Thanks.

Thanks Que Lynn for going through the touble. I'll try that when I get back to school on Monday.

Still, for the benefit to those who are trying to help (I really really appreciate that) error messages which I received are "A runtime error has occured. Do you wish to debug? Line: 35 Error: Expected ')'. I also received the same message again after I click 'No' to debug where it reads the same except that it is for line 57.

All these happened after I changed the Theme using Frontpage 98 @ school.

Advise is still welcomed!

Adam, maybe you might wanna try Dreamweaver? Frontpage used to give me a lot of problems.... until I moved to Dreamweaver.

Up to now, no problems

Que Lynn is right. An "Expected ')'." error msg usually refers to a misplaced quote.

Thanks shawntim for confirming.

Still, I need to trouble someone (TIA!) to proofread line 35 and 57 so that I can edit the html code which can only be done in my school.

Both Line 35 and 57 have same problem. Just remove the extra single quotation mark after s in "pupiils"

Original Line 35 (or 36 to some debuggers):
if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav7n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_hbtn.gif'); MSFPnav7h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_hbtn_a.gif'); }

Fix for Line (or 36 to some debuggers):
if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav7n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_hbtn.gif'); MSFPnav7h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_hbtn_a.gif'); }

Original Line 57 (or 58 to some debuggers):
if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav16n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn.gif'); MSFPnav16h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils'.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn_a.gif'); }

Fix for Line 57 (or 58 to some debuggers):
if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav16n=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn.gif'); MSFPnav16h=MSFPpreload('_derived/pupiils.htm_cmp_nature010_vbtn_a.gif'); }

Hope this is what you're looking for
