Problem with Custom Block Java Coding "Clean Time Calcu

I have modified this block and reworked it but I am having no luck, getting it to function any help would be wonderful. Below are the two code snippets Block is disfunctional and the html version works perfectly. Thanks any assistance anyone is willing to give me on this one. Smile

Working HTML Version: www.myrecoveryna.org/html.txt

Non Working Block: www.myrecoveryna.org/block.txt

I have tracked down several errors in the form section and finally got the thing to quit making the pages go blank. Now if I can just get it to calculate I would happy. The script is designed to calculate the amount of clean time that a recovering drug addict has been away from drugs. Thanks again for your help. I had to use txt files because it wont let me use any html even in the code brackets.

In includes/javascript.php add the following right underneath the closing ?> tag

Code:

<S CRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
accuracy = 3;

function roundAtDecimalPosition(number,accuracy) {
return Math.round(number * Math.pow(10,accuracy)) / Math.pow(10,accuracy); }

function roundAtDecimalPosition(n,position) {
n = n * Math.pow(10,position);
n = Math.round(n);
n = n / Math.pow(10,position);
return n; }

function lifetimer(){
today = new Date()
BirthDay = new Date(document.live.age.value)
timeold = (today.getTime() - BirthDay.getTime());
sectimeold = timeold / 1000;
secondsold = Math.floor(sectimeold);
msPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;
timeold = (today.getTime() - BirthDay.getTime());
e_daysold = timeold / msPerDay;
daysold = Math.floor(e_daysold);
e_hrsold = (e_daysold - daysold)*24;
hrsold = Math.floor(e_hrsold);
minsold = Math.floor((e_hrsold - hrsold)*60);
document.live.time1.value = daysold
document.live.time2.value = hrsold
document.live.time3.value = minsold
document.live.time4.value = roundAtDecimalPosition(daysold/365,accuracy)
window.status = "Well at the moment you are " + secondsold + "............ seconds old.";
timerID = setTimeout("lifetimer()",1000) }

// -- done hiding from old browsers -->

</s cript>

That is after all existing code. (I have added a space into the opening and closing script tags to allow it to display here so remove that.) This places your javascript between the head tags of your site, just as you have it on your html page.

Code:

<?php
if (eregi("block-lifetimer.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
}

$content = "";

$stuff = <<< End_Stuff

<form name="live" method="post">
Your Clean Date Please:<br>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="age" VALUE="" SIZE=20><br>
Example: (November 1, 1966)<br>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="start" VALUE="Calculate" ONCLICK="lifetimer(this.form)">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" NAME="resetb" VALUE="Clear">
<p> <br>
You've been clean:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="time4" VALUE="" size=8>years<br>
You are <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="time1" VALUE="" size=5>

days,  <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="time2" VALUE="" size=3>

hours and <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="time3" VALUE="" size=3>minutes
clean.</p>
</form>

End_Stuff;

$content .= $stuff;

?>

Save the above as block-lifetimer.php and upload to the blocks directory of your server. WARNING..... the copy/paste process sometimes adds invisible blank characters to the ends of code lines. These must be removed using a decent text editor before uploading to your site I use Crimson Editor

Next go to admin.php ..... Blocks and create your block by scrolling down and giving it a title. Next select lifetimer from the dropdown Filename select box and click create.

Thank you so much, I have fought with that thing for a couple of days now. I really appreciate you!! This site is not quite off the ground yet but I am hoping that it will become popular and things like that are just really nice for others to tell their friends about. Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Chad Taylor
