I was going to document each error, but realised that:

- We have no idea where you're calling "answerCorrect",
- We have no idea what you're passing in to "answerCorrect",
- There are numerous typos and mis-spellings of variable names you're using throughout.

Those aside:

This is not valid HTML. You cannot use JS style comments outside of a JS block. Use HTML comments instead if you need to:

Code:

//<JavaScript Document>

This:

Code:

type[!]+[/!]"text/javascript"

should be:

Code:

type[!]=[/!]"text/javascript"

This:

Code:

var correct = [!]flase[/!]

should be:

Code:

var correct = [!]false[/!]

So, address those issues, then go through your code and fix all of your spelling mistakes on variable names. Perhaps run your code through a spell-checker (even your text has spelling mistakes in it!).

Hope this helps,
