Page error duplicating Joe Stangler's sample HTML page. . . ?

J

Jim

Hi,

I was watching one of Joe Stangler's asp videos and he started with using
HTML controls and a line of javascript. I think I've duplicated the page
correctly but the browser is saying that there is a semi-colon at line 22,
char 8. I don't know why it needs a semi-colon on line 22. The result is
that the control called HTMLButton doesn't update the specified label. You
should be able to throw this into a page and see the error yourself.

Can anyone scrutinize this snippet and tell me what I've done wrong? Thanks
alot! Jim M.

JavaScript is a case-sensitive language, the word "innertext" should be
"innerText" and in your button's code, you've written "Return", which should
be "return".
