I was working on what seemed to be a simple alert/prompt box that asks a question and if the users answer in wrong it would say try again, but my script seems messed up. If anyone can help that would be great!!

Cheers

\<script type=“text/javascript” language=“javascript1.5”\>  
\<!-- HIDE FROM OLDER BROWSER

var yourAns = prompt(“Who Developed JavaScript?”, “Enter Answer Here”);  
var ans = “Netscape”;  
var ans2 = “netscape”;  
if (yourAns == ans || yourAns == ans2 ){  
alert(“Your Right!!”);  
}  
else {  
alert(“Try Again”);  
}
