undetermined string constant error

3 New Member

This is a script I found elsewhere that I was hoping to tweak to do something just a little different. Can't figure out its error. I wouln't mind paying someone to help out if needed to get it to run as I'd like as well.

Thank you.

Elves at the North Pole
<form name="xmasstory ">
It was lunch time at the North Pole. Moe and Joe Jingle, two elves from the Nintendo division, slipped outside the toy factory and quietly raced behind the reindeer barn. You got it? Joe asked. Moe pulled out a sheaf of papers and smiled slyly. Yep, he said. Got it. They huddled together as Moe unfolded the papers. So who are we reading about today? Joe asked anxiously, trying to peer over Moe's shoulder. Santa had never installed satellite TV at the North Pole, which meant entertainment was mainly limited to watching reindeer games and playing hockey. Joe and Moe were tired of both. So the two had hacked into Santa's recently computerized Naughty and Nice list to read about the lives of the faraway people who awaited the red-suited gentleman's visit every year. Let's see. Today we've got some folks from <input type="text" name="hometown_ 0">, Moe said. Wow! They've got <input type="text" name="noun_1"> there! Joe said.

Thank you very much :) I think I see some of what I did wrong. I put ( " ) rather than ( ' ). The string was also too long ... and I need break them down with a new doc.write("text here."); correct?

Please understand, I am not or have been to school or have been taught this. Up until now it has been cut and paste for me where Java is concerned.

Thank you again for the advice :) I'm off to work now.....
