I can't see an immediate problem with the javascript line, but try using
<script language= "JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
In a previous class, someone had asked why the type had to be added, and
validation might be it.

The name attribute - this info comes straight from the SAMS Javascript
Unleashed source book

Examples of user-defined JavaScript identifiers
Valid                                Invalid
current_website            current Website
numberOfHits                #ofIslands
n                                      2beOrNotToBe
N                                      return

current Website is not valid because it contains a space and is interpreted
as two identifiers instead of one.  #ofIslands is not valid becuase the
poiund sign is not included in the set of characters that are valid for
identifiers. 2borNotToBe is not vlaid because it begins with a number.
return identifier is already used by JavaScript for another purpose.  It is
keywords/predifined identifier

So from these examples your variable starts with pound, but it is also a
number so you'll probably have to rename is totally.
