What have I done wrong?

CODE
<script>
// · Don't change anything here below ·

var age = new Date();
var day = age.getDate();
var year = age.getYear();
var month = (age.getMonth() + 1);
if (year < 1000) {
year += 1900;
}

// · Adjust values ·

var my_day = **2**;
var my_month = **6**;
var my_year = **1982**;
}

// · Don't change anything here below ·

if ((day == my_day) && (month == my_month)) {
my_age = year - my_year;
}
else if ((day >= my_day) && (month >= my_month)) {
my_age = year - my_year;
}
else if ((day < my_day) && (month == my_month)) {
my_age = --year - my_year;
}
else if ((day < my_day) && (month > my_month)) {
my_age = year - my_year;
}
else {
my_age = --year - my_year;
}
document.write (my_age);
</script>

I think all the atserixes around your variable values would be your problem wink.gif

CODE
// · Adjust values ·

var my_day = **2**;
var my_month = **6**;
var my_year = **1982**;


Should be

CODE
// · Adjust values ·

var my_day = 2;
var my_month = 6;
var my_year = 1982;

I didn't really look much further than the asterixes at first. What is the code supposed to do?

PS. I got your email just now (it went to junk mail folder sorry) and have replied

You have a random stray curly brace

CODE
// · Adjust values ·

var my_day = **2**;
var my_month = **6**;
var my_year = **1982**;
} <---------Right here


That isn't needed. (as well as getting rid of the asterixes)
