<TITLE>
Example of passing parameters
// If it works, it should display &quot;I had Creme Brulet for lunch. It was delicious&quot;.
</TITLE>

<BODY>

<CENTER>

<FORM>
<BR>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON Value=&quot;Click here if you want to find out what I had for lunch?&quot; onClick=&quot;MyLunch(Creme Brulet, delicious)&quot;>
</FORM>

</CENTER>

</BODY>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

It was almost correct ;-)

onClick=&quot;MyLunch('Creme Brulet', 'delicious')&quot;

...and you'll probably want to change the following line as well (just the spaces, you'd have noticed this as well):

window.alert(&quot;I had &quot; + food + &quot; for lunch. It was &quot; + rating);

Hope this helps...

You don't need to qualify &quot;alert&quot; with &quot;window.&quot;

You should close the <body> with </body>.


I think between us we've covered just about every line...

Don't get disheartened - you're still on the easy stuff!

hi vituz,
scripts can be placed anywhere inside a html page and not necessarily at the <head> section even though it is advisable to place it there........

and modeler as haslo told enclose the arguments with single quotes...bcoz u want to pass literals to the function and what u have passed in ur code is a variable.....okay?? Take care

Regards,

about scripts placement - yeah, eggzactly, i wrote should but not have to - it was just kinda advise
:)
my arguments:
1. when u put your functions at the <head> it is 'a priori'
known that all variables wuld be defined & all necessary actions wuld be done before the user wuld start any activity on the page
2. it is better & more pleasing (at least for me) 2 c thus builded documents than 2 seek for scripts & functions in the entire body section, & i think this structure wuld add some culture, punctuality & style (may be your own one) 2 your pages & u'll be able 2 edit your pages spendin much less time for it. (sorry for my english)

regards, vic
