Javascript is not working in my JSP apps?

[intelguy]

when i define some function between the <script> </script> tags
inside a JSP app, and when i call these functions from anywhere inside the JSP, i get no interaction, no response, not anything ...I'm about to use the AJAX technology, so javascript is too important ...
Please reply ASAP, thank you ...

Well I am a js newbie,

are the variables of the function local?

I mean is their structure like this "var variable = STRING" or variable = STRING?

Javascript is quite bugy if not made on the right structure. The variables with the var as a preffix are local and can be called only inside the functon i thing, maybe you should post the script here, so other users could give you further supervision and assistance.
