The script isn't in Java, its in Javascript... a very different bird.
Which doesn't help you much :-)

You have a quote within your string at line:
m[4]="It makes good sense to review and update your "business plan" at least 
quarterly, or more frequently (monthly). If you don't have a plan there is no 
time like the present to develop one. ";

You need to either escape the quotes like so:
m[4]="...your \"business plan\" at..."
or use single quotes around the string like so:
m[4]='...your "business plan" at...'
or even like so:
m[4]="...your 'business plan' at..."

And it helps you a browser such as Firefox (or Mozilla) which have a built in 
Javascript debugger which will tell you immediately where the error is.
