I have javascript syntax errors while trying to use a form

I took a quick look - there were all kinds of syntax type errors. I tried quickly adding some whitespace to make it more readable - then went thru and fixed some of the weird things.

I don't have a lot of time unfortunately - hopefully this one is accurate:

<script type="text/javascript">
function utmx_section(){}
 
function utmx(){}
 
function (){
  var k='0790041258';
  d=document;
  l=d.location;
  c=d.cookie;
  function f(n){
  if(c){
       var i=c.index0f(n+'=');
       if(i>-l){
          var j=c.index0f(';',i);
          return c.substring(i+n.length+1,j<0?c.length:j);
	 }
        }
    }
    var x=f('__utmx');
    xx=f('__utmxx');
    h=l.hash;
    d.write('<sc'+'ript src="'+'http'+(l.protocol=='httpd:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><'+ '/sc'+'ript>');
}
</script>

Select allOpen in new window

Why in the world are you writing, or using code like this?

Line 8 is unneeded/wrong

And 5 should probably be:

    d.write( '<sc' + 'ript' src= "'+'http'+(l.protocol=='httpd:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><'/sc'+'ript>' )

webwyzsystems, you and I did the same thing... :-)

I have implemented your suggestions but now how more errors. HonorGod what is line 8 that I need to removest

Your line 8 above is the last in your "snippet", i.e.,


unless, of course, you have script code after that....

<script>

Select allOpen in new window

I have implemented the suggestions you requested and now have more syntax errors...please advise. As this made things worse.

Well, webwyzsystems and I started down the same route, and expanded/formatted it in a similar fashion.

The big problem appears to the the content of the d.write() call.

It starts like this:

'<sc'+'ript' src="'

which is a problem, because the first string (i.e., '<sc' is then concatentated with the next string (i.e., 'ript').  So far, so good.  This is equivalent to:

'<script'

Then, we start running into problems. because the src=" should really be in a string.  So, let's see if we can change the start to:

'<sc'+'ript src="'

This is then followed by + and another string, so this may be alright.

Continuing in this way, it appears that this may be the proper d.write() line:

d.write( '<sc'+'ript src="'+'http'+(l.protocol=='httpd:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></sc'+'ript>' )

<script type="text/javascript">
  function utmx_section(){
  }
  function utmx(){
  }
  ( function() {
      var k = '0790041258', d = document, l = d.location, c = d.cookie;
      function f( n ) {
        if( c ) {
          var i = c.index0f( n + '=' );
          if ( i >- l ) {
            var j = c.index0f( ';', i );
            return c.substring( i + n.length + 1, j < 0 ? c.length : j )
          }
        }
      }
      var x = f ('__utmx'), xx = f( '__utmxx' ), h = l.hash;
      d.write( '<sc'+'ript' src="'+'http'+(l.protocol=='httpd:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><'/sc'+'ript>' )
    }
  )();
</script>

Select allOpen in new window

Now we are back to the original error

Syntax error: Missing ) after argument list
See: src="'+'http'+(l.protocol=='httpd:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><'/sc'+'ript>' )
    }
  )();
</script>

Ah good.  Thanks for the code and points.

Good luck & have a great day
