Ok heres what i got, i am getting an error 'cannot assign to a function result' whenever i run this function .. I am gonna post only the first half of the code cuz it is kind of long ,

			sofar="______";
			thepot="";
			s="";
			p="";
			theword="";
			l=0;
		function HangMan() {
			theword="daniel";
			l=theword.length
				if (sofar=theword) {
					Finish();
				}
			userin= prompt('Guess a lettter');
//The For Loop is where it says its happening i have never
// seen this error before so i dont know what it means   
                                               for (x = 1; x < l; i++) {
				 if (theword.substring(x,1)=userin) {
					sofar+=theword.substring(x,1);
   					RefVar();
				}
			}

If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it..

I think it is your "=" signs. "=" by itself is used to set something to something else. What you want is "==".

so it would look like this on the if statements.

if (theword.substring(x,1)==userin)

Now i am getting 'Object Expected' at this line of code

userin=prompt('Guess a lettter');

I fix one thing then its on to another!

Actually I think your error is occuring at the start of the For loop.

for (x = 1; x < l; i++)

The i++ should be x++

Try this instead and let me know if you need anything else:

for (x = 1; x < l; x++)

now i am getting the first error again at
if (theword.substring(x,1)==userin) {
Well at least thats where IE Says it is

Dang IT!

it looks like its only happening when i type in the letter 'a'
