You appear to be assuming that you, a Netherlander who is pretty good at
understanding and writing proper English, has perfectly understood the
intended meaning of what has been written by someone who seems to be an
Iberian, or possibly an American.  A smart Iberian would have posted
bilingually, in good Iberian and in English - many of us here are, as
you exemplify, not monoglots.

In particular, we do not know for certain whether the OP got an error
message for that code from the script engine, or an error message from
the script engine later on, or an error report from some sort of
checking later on.

The OP should have given the exact error message, and enough code to
reproduce the problem, and the input used, and the outputs obtained and
desired..  The OP should also have said which browser(s) and which OS
were in use, just in case it matters.

Perhaps the OP had not read <http://www.jibbering.com/faq/index.html>,
which is UP.
