Javascript alert not functioning.

See attached HTML. Note on line 25, iuser="y". Note on the body tag, the onLoad event. Note the Javascript function chk_is_user() (on line 42). Note test on line 54.

The alert does not appear. This code used to work, I have others similar, they don't work now either. using Chrome browser.

What causes this?

Thank you

<script type="text/javascript">
isuser = "y";
pc = "";
pr = "";
ac = "";
nl = "";
bad = "";
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", chk_vals); // https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/API/Window/DOMContentLoaded_event
function chk_vals() {

Open in new window

and remove the inline one

Open in new window

Applied code, I believe you meant chk_is_user as the function, not chk_vals.

Does not work, see attached code.

index_new.html

Does the function name need the () at the end?

maybe you had too much popup and your web browser proposed you to deactivate them

That is not an answer. It needs to work in all browsers.

Somebody else?

Perfect Julian.

I guess you found that in Chrome debugger, don't know why I didn't think of that.
