This is probably a stupid question but I can't find documentation online. Anywho. I'm having a javascript create another page for me (document.write). On this next page there is a javascript but the {} are jacking up the first script. I assume I need to use ascii but if there is an eaiser way that'd be pretty tight.
Thanks in Advanced,
Jesse

As long as they are inside quotes it shouldn't matter. Show some of your code.

document.write(results);

You can try escaping these like so:
Code: 
<html><head><script language=javascript>function change(y,z)\{newresults=newresults+y+z;sender.changesmade.value=newresults;\}</script>
[...]

Take Care,
Mike

Your problem is not the closing brackets, it's the <script> tags. Javascript goes a little wacky when you nest <script> tags inside strings inside <script> tags. You just have to break up the <script> tag to fix it. This should work:

Code: 
document.write('<html><head><scr[!]' + '[/!]ipt language=javascript>function change(y,z){newresults=newresults+y+z;sender.changesmade.value=newresults;}</scr[!]' + '[/!]ipt><STYLE TYPE-type/css><!--A:visited {color: #FF00FF} font.title {font-size:36;} font.whparable {font-size: 10pt;} font.place {font-size: 8pt;} font.text {font size:10pt;}--></STYLE><title>Data</title></head><body><table border=1>');
document.write(results);
document.write('<FORM NAME=SENDER METHOD=POST ACTION=mailto:><INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=changesmade VALUE=><INPUT TYPE=submit></FORM></table></body></html>');
