Opera onclick defect in JS?

Why this code doesn't work in Opera? And it works in all other browsers (IE, FF)

When the user clicks the button nothing happens. Why so?

<form>
<input id="continue" type="button" value="Continue" onclick="ToContinue();" />
</form>

This snippet works fine in all browsers.

When I move the function to the script file, it doesn't work. What's wrong?

<html><body>
<form>
<input id="continue" type="button" value="Continue" onclick="ToContinue(); return false;" />
</form>
<span id="test">old</span>
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
function ToContinue () {
	document.getElementById ('test').innerHTML = 'new';
}
-->
</script>
</body></html>

why? What's wrong?
there a space between getElementById ('test')
^


 
<html><body>
<form>
<input id="continue" type="button" value="Continue" onclick="ToContinue(); return false;" />
</form>
<span id="test">old</span>
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
function ToContinue () {
        document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = 'new';
}
-->
</script>
</body></html>

Can you show the JS file and the html you ACTUALLY use?

Also you should comment out inline html comments in JS
Like this:
