Getting Expected ; (semicolon) in simple VBScript only page

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I am working on an ASP page that also includes some basic Client Side
validation. I am just starting to work with VBScript on the client so I
threw together a little test file and I keep getting:
Error: Expected ';'
on the first line after <SCRIPT LANGUANGE="VBScript">

I have tried subs, functions, etc... Why is it expecting a semicolon?
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUANGE="VBScript">

Function Test()

End Function

</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Try checking your spelling:

<SCRIPT LANGUANGE="VBScript">

You misspelt 'LANGUAGE' so it'll default to client-side Javascript.

My advice, forget VBScript for client-side and take 5 mins to learn
Javascript - it's easy and *every* browser can use it. VBScript is also
pants at client-side stuff anyway - believe me, I tried it for two years and
finally gave up and now I write *everything* (including ASP) in Javascript.

You're getting the error becasue you misspelled the
word 'Language' in your opening <SCRIPT> tag and
therefore, the JScript interpreter is trying to process
your script.
