hey here is my script:

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(" <div id='lyr' style='position:absolute;
top:90px;left:10px;width:200px;height:10px;z-index:10;background-color:white'></div>

function enter()
{
var str=document.forms.f.txt.value;
var obj=documen.getElementById("lyr");
obj.document.open()
obj.document.write(str)
obj.document.clos()
}
</script>

<body>

It doesn't work and tells me that there is a "unterminated string constant"
Can someone help me please?

No closing quotes or closing paranthesis on the document.write

Thanks

Well now that i've aded the quotes and parenthesis, it makes the parenthesis part of the document.write.......

this is weird..
it might be a stupid mistake again....

Should be:

Code:

document.write(" <div id='lyr' style='position:absolute;top:90px;left:10px;width:200px;height:10px;z-index:10;background-color:white'></div>");

and add semicolons to the end of each line of:

Code:

obj.document.open()
obj.document.write(str)
obj.document.clos()

as well. Worked fine for me.

Maybe it's my html editor that sucks but it shows on;ly the black layer...........i use HTML-kit.....

Can we see all the code for the page? If I finish the HTML tags for the page, it works, but it's a white box on a white page with no content, so you can't see it.
