JavaScript - Function is undefined (But I defined it, I swear!)

When I try to run the following code, it claims the ptModCss function is undefined. However, when I remove the code declaring ptHeader, it works perfectly.

The error I get onLoad is:

Code:

missing ; before statement
[Break on this error] document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Left Sidebar');\n

And the error I get when I mouseOver where the function is supposed to execute:

Code:

ptModCss is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=0, clientY=0)

The code is as follows (Functions declared in the head of the document):

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ptModCss(divId, action, class, old) {
	if (action=='on') {
		original=old;
		document.getElementById(divId).className=class;
	}
	else if (action=='off') {
		document.getElementById(divId).className=original;
	}
	else if (action=='edit') {
		document.getElementById('pt-wrap').className='hidden';
		document.getElementById('pt-edit').className='pt-edit';
		ptHeader(divId);
	}
	else if (action=='placement') {
		document.getElementById('pt-wrap').className='pt-wrap';
		document.getElementById('pt-edit').className='hidden';
	}
}

function ptHeader(divId) {
	var a='Below are your ad settings for ';
	if (divId=='sbl1' || divId=='sbl2' || divId=='sbl3' || divId=='sbl4') {
		document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Left Sidebar');
	}
	else if (divId=='sbml1' || divId=='sbml2' || divId=='sbml3' || divId=='sbml4') {
		document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Middle Left Sidebar';
	}
	else if (divId=='sbr1' || divId=='sbr2' || divId=='sbr3' || divId=='sbr4') {
		document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Right Sidebar';
	}
	else if (divId=='sbmr1' || divId=='sbmr2' || divId=='sbmr3' || divId=='sbmr4') {
		document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Middle Right Sidebar';
	}
	else if (divId=='sbmr1' || divId=='sbmr2' || divId=='sbmr3' || divId=='sbmr4') {
		document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Middle Right Sidebar';
	}
}
</script>

Code that calls the function:

Code:

<div class="sbl1" id="sbl1" onMouseOver="ptModCss('sbl1', 'on', 'hovered', 'sbl1');" onMouseOut="ptModCss('sbl1', 'off');" onClick="ptModCss('sbl1', 'edit');">

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm having a lot of trouble with this, and I'm pulling hair out. I just wish I could find the problem, because I know it's gonna be something simple I can't see because I'm frustrated.

Nevermind, someone in another forum solved it. Turned out:

Code:

document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Left Sidebar';

Needed to be:

Code:

document.getElementById('pt-ht').innerHTML=a+'Left Sidebar<br />';
