Java help please

[simplydigital]

Hi

I am a complete novice with java, however with the help of this forum and the AUG I have managed to write some java to tell the customer when their order will be delivered. I am however having some trouble with getting the last 2 lines to appear green. When I use span style the var no longer appears.

I'm sure it's simple, please help.

<script language=JavaScript>
now = new Date()
var weekday=new Array(7)
weekday[0]="Sunday"
weekday[1]="Monday"
weekday[2]="Tuesday"
weekday[3]="Wednesday"
weekday[4]="Thursday"
weekday[5]="Friday"
weekday[6]="Saturday"
if ( now.getDay() == 6 ) document.write('<span style="color:green;">order now for delivery Tuesday</span>');
else if ( now.getDay() == 0) document.write('<span style="color:green;">order now for delivery Tuesday</span>');
else if ( now.getHours() >=13 && now.getDay() == 5 ) document.write('<span style="color:green;">order now for delivery Tuesday</span>');
else if ( now.getHours() >=13 && now.getDay() == 4 ) document.write('<span style="color:green;">order now for delivery Monday</span>');
else if ( now.getHours() <13 && now.getDay() == 5 ) document.write('<span style="color:green;">order now for delivery Monday</span>');
else if ( now.getHours() >=13) document.write("Order now for delivery " + weekday[now.getDay()+2]);
else if ( now.getHours() <13) document.write("Order now for delivery " + weekday[now.getDay()+1]);
</script>

Thanks

Steven

Use single quotes on those last two lines. E.g. document.write('Order now for delivery '

PS. If all these lines are to be in green, the put the <span style="color:green;"> and the </span> outside the <script ..> and </script>

PS. The following may be neater and easier to maintain

<span style="color:green">Order now for delivery 
<script type="text/javascript">
var latesthour = 13;
var weekday = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var now = new Date();
var thisday = weekday[now.getDay()];
var thishour = now.getHours();
var delday;
if ( thisday == 'Sunday' ) delday = 'Tuesday'
 else if ( thisday == 'Saturday' ) delday = 'Tuesday'
  else if ( thisday == 'Friday' && thishour >= latesthour ) delday = 'Tuesday'
   else if ( thisday == 'Friday' && thishour < latesthour ) delday = 'Monday'
    else if ( thisday == 'Thursday' && thishour >= latesthour ) delday = 'Monday'
     else if ( thishour >= latesthour ) delday = weekday[now.getDay() + 2]
      else delday = weekday[now.getDay() + 1];
document.write(delday);
</script>
</span>

NB not checked for typos.

<span style="color:green">Order now for delivery 
<script type="text/javascript">
var weekday = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var now = new Date();
var thisday = weekday[now.getDay()];
var thishour = now.getHours();
var delday;
if ( thisday == 'Saturday' ) delday = 'Tuesday'
 else if ( thisday == 'Sunday' ) delday = 'Tuesday'
  else if ( thisday == 'Friday' && thishour >= 13 ) delday = 'Tuesday'



document.write(delday)
</script>
</span>

I know you didn't check for erros but document.write(delday> is really gonna confuse a newbie LOL

Ooops. Fixed it in case any one else looks at this later.
