I am having some trouble getting the errors out of my javascript... I have googled for it and found a couple of examples but none that seemed to help me. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
<html>

<body>
<script language="JavaScript">

var NumGrade; var AlphGrade;
NumGrade=52;

if (NumGrade > 89){
AlphGrade = "A";
else
if (NumGrade > 79) {
AlphGrade = "B";

else
if (NumGrade > 69) {
AlphGrade = "C";

else
if (NumGrade > 59) {
AlphGrade = "D";

else
AlphaGrade = "F";
}
}
}
}



document.write("Your grade for this course is " + AlphGrade);

code:
var NumGrade; var AlphGrade;
NumGrade=52;

if (NumGrade > 89)
AlphGrade = "A";
else if (NumGrade > 79)
AlphGrade = "B";
else if (NumGrade > 69)
AlphGrade = "C";
else if (NumGrade > 59)
AlphGrade = "D";
else
AlphaGrade = "F";




When you write create an if with brackets, you need to complete the brackets statment before the else.

code:
if  (...)
{
....
}
else
{
...
}

Hyperbole's example might be a tad confusing, I'd always better to use the curly braces {} regardless, like so...

code:
if (a > b) {
a = b;
b = b + 1;
} else if (a < b) {
b = a;
a = a - 1;
} else {
a = 0;
b = 0;
}



When coding it's handy to remember that things like braces or quotes always go in pairs. One starts something { and the other must end it }. In Javascript you don't actually "need" the braces for simple one liners and the like, but it's considered good from to include them none the less.
