Why is this javascript not working in FireFox? Nothing shows.?

Using FireFox, can you see a wisdom phrase below the title at my blog: http://back2nature.blogspot.com.

Is it that I must place the function in the head section?

------

<script language="JavaScript">

// ***** Modify the messages here ***** //
// ***** As many messages as you can provide. ***** //
// ***** May include individually designed formatting, or url link.
***** //
var Message = new Array(
"Message 1",
"Message 2",
"Message 3"
);
function randomlyselectMessage1()
{
var ii = Math.floor(Message.length*Math.random())...
// ***** Modify the format of the message here. ***** //
Message1.innerHTML="<h3><em>" + Message[ii] + "</em></h3>";
}
</script>

<span id="Message1" class="fancy"></span>
<script language="JavaScript">
randomlyselectMessage1();
</script>

I've added a statement after the line
function randomlyselectMessage1()
{
--------------------------------------...
var Message1 = document.getElementById( 'Message1' );
--------------------------------------...
so that the varibale Message1 is mapped to the HTML element. As an additional information, I'd like to mention that whenever you want to access an HTML element within JavaScript, you need to use document.getElementById( 'ELEMENTID' ); where ELEMENTID is the ID or NAME assigned to that element in HTML page. This statement returns the handle to that object, after which you can manipulate properties or innerHTML of this element.

Finally, the working code is:

<script language="JavaScript">
// ***** Modify the messages here ***** //
// ***** As many messages as you can provide. ***** //
// ***** May include individually designed formatting, or url link. ***** //
var Message = new Array( "Message 1", "Message 2", "Message 3" );
function randomlyselectMessage1()
{
var Message1 = document.getElementById( 'Message1' );
var ii = Math.floor( Message.length*Math.random() );
// ***** Modify the format of the message here. ***** //
Message1.innerHTML="<h3><em>" + Message[ii] + "</em></h3>";
}
</script>

<span id="Message1" class="fancy"></span>
<script language="JavaScript">
randomlyselectMessage1();
</script>

In my personal opinion, IE has its own rules which are not standard. Firefox is far better than IE. Report It

No Idea
