[please leave al the crap out that has nothing to do with your Q]

function surveyQ(){alert("Please take our Customer Service Survey.");}
return true;

function thanks(){alert("We appreciate you opinions!"); } return true;

Thanks to your bad visual formatting you do not see your mistakes.

I will reformat:

function surveyQ() {
alert("Please take our Customer Service Survey.");
};
return true;

function thanks() {
alert("We appreciate you opinions!");
};
return true;

Looking for the error text and error line number can help you
if you do not see the bugs yet.

Maybe using `onUnload' instead of `onunload'. XHTML is case-sensitive.

[...]
<body>
onload="surveyQ()";

onUnload="thanks()";

Maybe using `onUnload' instead of `onunload'. XHTML is fully case-sensitive.

Actually, the "crap" had everything to do with his question. For
instance, he left some attributes outside of the <bodytag, which we
would not have known if he posted only the Javascript.

Thanks to your bad visual formatting you do not see your mistakes.

I was able to read it perfectly well.

I will reformat:

It still doesn't work ;) He asked a perfectly reasonable question. If
you're going to mock him, at least do it right :D

No, that part was not the crap.

Beside the point,because:
Reformatting shows the error, reformatting is not correcting.
I am not mocking him, though I am tempted to mock you.

I am showing him a way to find the error himself by just looking at the
code, you obviously did not see it.
