i just correct some of the mistakes you had in the script...but i'm not sure
what you where trying to accomplish...
I would move the script functions into the html head block if i were you
but i'm guessing that you want to run the scripts upon start up.

Re: Arrays
Jon Boy,
How about ending every Javascript statement with a semi-colon? Also dont
capitalize letters. 'New' should be 'new', 'Alert' should be 'alert'. JavaScript
is case sensitive.
Try this now :
<html>
<head>
<title>US States</title>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT Language = "JavaScript">
<!--
function getStateDate()
{
var selectedState = document.entryForm.entry.value
for ( var i = 0; i < USStates.length; i++)
{
if (USStates[i] == selectedState)
{
break;
}
}
alert("That state entered the union in " + stateEntered[i] + ".");
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT Language = "JavaScript">
<!--
var USStates = new Array(5);
