I have this java script for a confirmation of entry to a particular page on my site...

<script>
var stay=confirm("YOUR MESSAGE HERE")
if (!stay)
window.location="WEBSITE LOCATION"
</script>

Now, does anyone know where this goes in HTML (head, body :?:

) and is that right because I can't get it to work!?

that works?

you can put the script anywhere on the page really. i would tend to put scripts at the very top of the code just so its loaded first.

it's meant to be javascript right? you should really specify the script language etc in the script tag. if its meant to be vb script throw it away it's useless. javascript lines should end with ;

Well I put it on my 'Top Ten' page here and all it does is pop-up a message before the page opens.

I was going to say that too. Doesn't technically matter these days because browsers can generally interpret the language for themselves, but it's good practice to put the language in.

Well that's the way I intended it but it won't work for me. I use Frontpage but you can edit the HTML in that so I put it in there but still not working.
(I didn't write it btw, I got it from an HTML help site)

My advise - don't use Fronpage, it's evil :evil:

Your advice taken but my skills can only cope with Frontpage. I can't write HTML and I'm not really ashamed to admit it!

If you put it within <head> I really can't see why it won't work. Try putting it directly below the <title>blah, blah</title> bit.

You can go View-->View Source on my page if that helps.

well it works in mozilla so i guess it's ok, but it might not in some others so i would prefer to fix it.

look at your html source code when you view the actual page and see if its the same as you have there or if frontpage has altered it for you

Seems very likely. Microsoft thinking it knows best as usual....
