[Javascript] silly question

Thu Jul 19 10:28:08 CDT 2001

(1) Does the error message give you a line number?

(2) What are you trying to accomplish with return varOutput ?  If you want to display the variable, use alert(varOutput).

  Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the following snippet of code
  It is designed to allow the user to choose which url the contents of his
  form is sent to for processing.

  I keep getting errors suggesting I have a ";" missing, but I haven't a clue
  where it's supposed to be.

  Any help greatly appreciated.

  <HTML>
  <HEAD>
  <SCRIPT Language=JavaScript>

  function whereto(option) {
  If (option == "output1"){varOutput = "www.ibm.com";}
  If (option == "output2"){varOutput = "www.zeppotron.com";}
  return varOutput;
  }

  </SCRIPT>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
  <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION= varOutput >
  <INPUT TYPE="text" name="field">
  </FORM>
  <A HREF="#" onClick="whereto('output1');">Click here to send field to
  IBM</A>
  <BR><BR>
  <A HREF="#" onClick="whereto('output2');">Click here to send field to the
  Guardian</A>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>
