ok once again I am getting an error that makes no sense to me...this project isn't going very well..can you tell?

here is a part of the code:

Code: 
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

function loadDivs1() {	

	distance = 0

	for (i=0; i<83; i++) {
	
	distance++

document.write(&quot;<div align=&quot;center&quot; id=&quot;1divMover&quot; + i + &quot;style=&quot;position: absolute; top: &quot; + distance + &quot;%&quot;/>&quot;);

Code: 
	document.write(&quot;<img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;tapdance.gif&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;69&quot;/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;</div/>&quot;);
	
	}
	
	document.write(&quot;</td/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;</tr/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;</table/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;</div/>&quot;);

}

function loadDivsSetup() {

	document.write(&quot;<div align=&quot;center&quot; id=&quot;parentDiv&quot; style=&quot;position: relative; background-color: #FFFFFF;  height: 100%; width: 100%&quot;/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;<table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot;/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;<tr/>&quot;);
	document.write(&quot;<td/>&quot;);
	
	loadDivs1();
}	
	

var num, countHide, countShow

num = 83
countHide = 1
countShow = 2

function startLoopSet() {

	document.getElementById('divMover' + countHide).style.visibility ='hidden';
	document.getElementById('divMover' + countShow).style.visibility = 'visible';
	
	countHide++
	countShow++
	
	if (countShow != num) {
	
		setTimeout('startLoopSet()', 1)
	}
}
	
loadDivs1();	
	
</script>

this is supposed make a division with a table, then spit out 82 divisions into the table...I get an error (object expected ')' ) on the bold line..I don't know why.

thanks for any help

You have nested quotes, need to use either single inside double, or escape sequence, this is what you're after:

document.write(&quot;<div align='center' id='1divMover' + i + &quot; style='position: absolute; top: &quot; + distance + &quot;%&quot;'/>&quot;);


or you can use escape &quot; -> \&quot;.

I find it helpful to print out what it looks like in an alert box or something, to make sure of whitespace and quotes.

I corrected the JavaScript problems that were causing errors. I noticed a few other problems with the scrip and your html and if you want I can take a closer look at it and give you some suggestions.

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

function loadDivs1() {

distance = 0

for (i=0; i<83; i++) {

distance++


//document.write(&quot;<div align=&quot;center&quot; id=&quot;1divMover&quot; + i + &quot;style=&quot;position: absolute; top: &quot; + distance + &quot;%&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<div align=\&quot;center\&quot; id=\&quot;1divMover&quot; + i + &quot;style=\&quot;position: absolute; top: &quot; + distance + &quot;%\&quot;/>&quot;);

//document.write(&quot;<img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;tapdance.gif&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;69&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<img border=\&quot;0\&quot; src=\&quot;tapdance.gif\&quot; width=\&quot;30\&quot; height=\&quot;69\&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;</div/>&quot;);

}

document.write(&quot;</td/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;</tr/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;</table/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;</div/>&quot;);

}

function loadDivsSetup() {

//document.write(&quot;<div align=&quot;center&quot; id=&quot;parentDiv&quot; style=&quot;position: relative; background-color: #FFFFFF; height: 100%; width: 100%&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<div align=\&quot;center\&quot; id=\&quot;parentDiv\&quot; style=\&quot;position: relative; background-color: #FFFFFF; height: 100%; width: 100%\&quot;/>&quot;);
//document.write(&quot;<table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<table align=\&quot;center\&quot; border=\&quot;0\&quot; cellspacing=\&quot;0\&quot; cellpadding=\&quot;0\&quot; width=\&quot;100%\&quot; height=\&quot;100%\&quot;/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<tr/>&quot;);
document.write(&quot;<td/>&quot;);

loadDivs1();
}


var num, countHide, countShow

num = 83
countHide = 1
countShow = 2

function startLoopSet() {

document.getElementById('divMover' + countHide).style.visibility ='hidden';
document.getElementById('divMover' + countShow).style.visibility = 'visible';

countHide++
countShow++

if (countShow != num) {

setTimeout('startLoopSet()', 1)
}
}

loadDivs1();

</script>

I also get an object required error in startLoopSet()...the first two commands, they are calling the same thing that was created...right?
