The missing button

inventor

I'm doing programming for my science prodject, and when I was
programming (I'm building an alphebatizer) I ran into this bug: I've
got an input box, but no button or output box. so I do some reaserch,
insert a button, and when I open it up, instead of the button being
added, I lost the input box. Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've included a copy of my code as it is:

<HTML>
<HEAD> Riehl's Alphebatizer
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--beginning of JavaScript-
function alphebitize (inputText.value){
..split(" "); inputTextArray.sort(); result.join("
");result.send("outputText")
</HEAD>

<BODY> <document.bgcolor="blue">
type some words, separated by spaces, in here. to clear, click refresh.
<FORM>

<TEXTAREA name="inputText" rows=6 cols=85 wrap=on></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT NAME="submit" TYPE=Button VALUE="Alphebitize words"
onClick="alphebitize (form.inputText.value)")>

<TEXTAREA name="outputText" rows=6cols=85 wrap=on
readonly></TEXTAREA>

</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>

<HEAD> Riehl's Alphebatizer
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<SCRIPT type='text/JavaScript'>
<!--beginning of JavaScript-
do not use <!-- [since 1998 about]
function alphebitize (inputText.value){
"alphebitize" ??

you cannot use inputText.value as an argument variable of a function

use alphebitize(myArgument)
.split(" ");
you did not state a with .., so the .split has no input
inputTextArray.sort();
you did not specify inputTextArray
result.join("");
you did not specify result
result.send("outputText")
what is .send() ??

you did not close the function with }

you did not close the superfluous <!--

you forgot </script>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<document.bgcolor="blue">
That is not html, nor css style declaration syntax, nor javascript,
it is nothing
type some words, separated by spaces, in here. to clear, click refresh.
<FORM>
name the form <form name='myForm'>

<TEXTAREA name="inputText" rows=6 cols=85 wrap=on></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT NAME="submit" TYPE=Button VALUE="Alphebitize words"
type should be submit, not button.

Alphebitize ??
onClick="alphebitize (form.inputText.value)")>
do not use onclick of the submit button,
but insubmit of the <form>

document.forms['myForm'].elements['inputText'].value

or better:

<form onsubmit='alphebitize (this.inputText.value)'>

if you don't want to submit, include a "return false"

<TEXTAREA name="outputText" rows=6cols=85 wrap=on
insert a space in 6cols=85
readonly></TEXTAREA>
an empty readonly textarea will not help you much

</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>
Conclusion:
Start writing simpler scripts and test them again and again.
Perhaps you will learn to programme.

Certainly not. Question on usenet, answer on usenet!
