syntx error is occuring? what could cause this in the code below??
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function checkFields() {
missinginfo = "";
if (document.form.dltitle.value == "") {
missinginfo += "\n - Title of the File Uploaded";
}
if (document.form.dlsummary.value == "") {
missinginfo += "\n - Descriptive Summary of Uploaded File";
}
if (document.form.dlos.selectedIndex == 0 ||
document.form.dlos.selectedIndex == 1)
missinginfo += "\n - Please select an operating system";
}
if (document.form.area.selectedIndex == 0 ||
document.form.area.selectedIndex == 1)
missinginfo += "\n - Please select the required area";
}
if (missinginfo != "") {
missinginfo ="_____________________________\n" +
"You failed to correctly fill in the:\n" +
missinginfo + "\n_____________________________" +
