Function Not Defined Javascript Error in Firefox

[Nightshade]

I have an HTML form using JavaScript that seems to function properly in IE but not in Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or in Netscape 8.1 (based on Firefox). The error in Firefox/Netscape is "testForIt( ) not defined."

Following is the JavaScript code:

<script language="JScript">
  <!--
  var request = false;
  var useImage = false;
  var useFrame = false;
  var inqnum, compname = 0;

  alert ('Java');

  if (document.images) useImage = true;
  else if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf('MSIE 3') > -1) useFrame = true;

  function cleaninquirynumber(aValue)
    {
    var aResult = '';
    var sValidChar = '0123456789';
    for (n=0;n<=aValue.length;n++) {
      if (sValidChar.indexOf(aValue.charAt(n)) != -1)
        {
        if (n == aValue.length - 4)
        aResult = aResult.concat('-');
        aResult = aResult.concat(aValue.charAt(n));
        }
      }
    return(aResult);
    }

  function cleancompanyname(aValue)
    {
    var aResult = '';
    var sValidChar2 = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    aValue = aValue.toUpperCase();
  	bResult = 1;
    for (n=0;(aResult.length<=(Math.min(aValue.length,4))) && bResult;n++) {
      if (n > aValue.length) bResult = 0;
      if (sValidChar2.indexOf( aValue.charAt(n)) != -1)
        {
        aResult = aResult.concat(aValue.charAt(n));
        }
      }
    return(aResult);
    }

  function testForIt() {
      alert ('TestForIt.');
      if ((document.getElementsByName('inqnum').value != '') && (document.getElementsByName('compname').value != '')) {
	  alert ('if Document');
          if (useImage) {
              request = true;
              document.images["testImage"].src = cleaninquirynumber(document.getElementsByName('inqnum').value)+cleancompanyname(document.getElementsByName('compname').value) + '.gif';
              alert ('if (useimage)');
          }
          else if (useFrame)
              document.frames[0].location.href = 'e' + cleaninquirynumber(document.getElementsByName('inqnum').value)+cleancompanyname(document.getElementsByName('compname').value) + '.htm';
          else {
	      alert ('Test-Load');
              request = true;
              loadIt();
          }
      }
      return false;
  }

  function loadIt() {
      if (request)
      {
        document.logon.action = 'inq'+cleaninquirynumber(document.getElementsByName('inqnum').value)+cleancompanyname(document.getElementsByName('compname').value)+'.htm';
        document.logon.submit();
      }
      request = false;

  }

  function failIt() {
      request = false;
      if (useImage)
        {
      document.images["testImage"].src = 'blank.gif';
      }
    document.logon.action = 'nocompanyinquiries.htm';
    document.logon.submit();
  }



if (useImage)
    document.write('<IMG SRC="blank.gif" NAME="testImage" ALT="." WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" onLoad="loadIt()" onError="failIt()">');
else if (useFrame)
    document.write('<IFRAME FRAMEBORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" SRC="blank.htm"><\/IFRAME>');
//-->
</script>

And here is the HTML code that calls it:

    <FORM NAME="logon" action="nocompanyinquiries.htm"></FORM>
    <table align=center><tr><td>Inquiry Number:</td><td><input type="text" name="inqnum" size="10" maxlength="10"></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Company Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="compname" size="30"></td></tr>
    <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="submit" value="Go" onClick="testForIt()"></td></tr>
    </table>

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

By the way...

Incidentally the alerts were just something I there in for testing purposes.

[Nightshade]

Found it.

Nevermind, I think I found it. I inherited the code and just noticed that the original programmer had specified JScript rather than Javascript as the script language.

[acoder]

Yes, that would cause problems. In fact, the language attribute is deprecated and should be replaced with the type attribute:

<script type="text/javascript">

[buzznode]

Using FF I just stumbled upon the 'JavaScript' versus 'text/javascript' error for a JS script that wasn't loading. Keep in mind that all the other 20+ scripts for the site had 'JavaScript' for the type, but the latest one I created would not load until I made it's type = 'text/javascript'.

Can someone say GAY?!?!?!

[acoder]

Was that type or language?

If you're going to use non-standard or deprecated attributes, expect things not to work.
