ANOTHER question about JavaScript!!

[Womble]

Can anyone help? Below is my little JavaScript, my problem is I want the output to have astrix around it like so but cant remember how to do it..doh!
***********************************
The price of your ticket is
***********************************

This is my script............................................ .....................................
// to check the status of a prospective ticket purchaser
var age;
age = window.prompt('Please enter your age', '');
age = parseFloat(age);
while (age<5)
{
document.write ('You have made a mistake, please re-enter your age'+ '<BR>')
age = window.prompt('Please re-enter your age', '');
age = parseFloat(age);
}
if (age >59)
{
document.write
('The price of your ticket is a concessionary £8')
}
if (age <17)
{
document.write
('The price of your ticket is a concessionary £8')
}

else
{
document.write('The price of your ticket is £10')
}


Thanks for any input

What's wrong with doing:

document.write('********************************** *<br />The price of your ticket is £10<br />***********************************')

?

Ahh, it doesn't work!! I hate coding!!!!!!!!!!!

Try using the HTML Entity value. For a * it is:

*

Put that anywhere in your HTML, and it would produce an asterix. Should work inside your document.write.

HTH

Edit: I forgot the entity automatically gets parsed into an astrisk , sorry it is:

[&][#][4][2][;]

but without the [ and ]. All as one word.

I thought your question was a bit weird Womble, so I decided to test it, and:

document.write('*****************<br>');

works fine for me. You must have a problem elsewhere. Can you post the whole file for us?
