CDATA - Error in a Javascript

[bobbya]

I am a newbie to javascript, I am trying to convert the numbers from 1 to 256 to there character code using the following code while executing IE7. I am getting a error on the CDATA tag.

[CODE=javascript]<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
k=1;
document.write( '<table>');
for(i=1; i <16; i++) {
document.write( '<tr>');
for(j=0; j<16; j++) {
document.write( '<tr>' + k + '<br />' + &#k; + '</tr>');
}
document.write( '</tr>);
}
document.write( </table>);
]]>
</script>[/CODE]

hi ...

have a look at the comments in the code, that is fixed now:

[CODE=javascript]<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
var k=1;
document.write( '<table>');

for(i=1; i <16; i++) {
document.write( '<tr>');

for(j=0; j<16; j++) {
document.write( '<tr>' + k + '<br />' + &#k; + '</tr>');
}

// add quotes here
document.write( '</tr>');
}

// add the quotes here too
document.write( '</table>');
]]>
</script>[/CODE]
so you had simple syntax errors.

kind regards

Are you sure you have the right doctype and whatever else may be needed to use a CDATA island?
There is another syntax error here:

document.write('<tr>' + k + '<br />' + &#k; + '</tr>');

Should be:

document.write('<tr>' + k + '<br />&#' + k + ';</tr>');

Your algorithm is still incorrect beacause k isn't incremented and the table structure is wrong.

[CODE=javascript]document.write( '<table width=100%>');

for(var i=0, k=0; i <16; i++)
{
document.write( '<tr bgcolor="#'+(i& 1?'00F0FF':'00C 0FF')+'">');

for(var j=0; j<16; j++, k++)
document.write( '<th width=3%>' + k + '&#' + k + ';');

document.write( '</tr>');
}

document.write( '</table>');
[/CODE]
