So I'm trying to write some HTML with JS, and everything I try gets me a "Syntax Error" on line 2 (even though line 2 is my <html> tag). Anyways, here's an example of what I'm doing, and must be the source of my problem:

Code:

txt[i]='<tr><td><a href="#" 
onclick="toggleItem("title")">Title:</a></td><td id="title>'+title[i];

And here's the toggleItem function:

Code:

 
function getItem(id) //Collapsible table
    {
        var itm = true;
        if(document.getElementById)
            itm = document.getElementById(id);
        else if(document.all)
            itm = document.all[id];
        else if(document.layers)
            itm = document.layers[id];
        return itm;
    }
    function toggleItem(id)
    {
        itm = getItem(id);
        if(!itm)
            return false;
        if(itm.style.display == 'none')
            itm.style.display = '';
        else
            itm.style.display = 'none';
        return false;
    }

Until I added that onclick=... the page worked fine. Any ideas? Thanks

Well it won't let me edit that post, but I had a quote after the td id=title. I just left it out when posting, so that's not the source of my problem. I wish it was that simple

Code:

txt[i]='<tr><td><a href="#" 
onclick="toggleItem("title")">Title:</a></td><td id="title>'+title[i];

There's not enough code here to diagnose the problem.

Could you add more or point us to a url?
