I have checked over them time and time again but cannot see where the problem is.
The original was built using dreamweaver 2 / 4. It is driving me crazy, please restore my sanity

Doesn't it say on which line the ) is expected or on which line the error is?

Hello Larry, Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

All your problems will vanish if you correct some typo's:
* %5B should be [
* %5D should be ]
* _document.Image3_ should be 'document.Image3' (et cetera)
* use backslashes to escape quotes, like \' . You're using forward slashes in some places
* allways use forward slashes in URLs (even on Windows :)

Also, please wrap long lines when posting to this board...
