1) How do I shrink the gap between 2 data elements and also add a coma.
For Eg; My Date shows up as " January 02 2009".

How do I format it to make it more readable etc.

My ideal output should be "January 02, 2009".

2) Does every line in the script end with a ";" . How about the lines in a IF
THEN ELSE block of code?

3) How to comment lines/block of lines in a script?

Thanks

Hi Nurani,

1) That's how your date comes in from the database?

2) You use a ';' after you do a line that actually executes something. An if/else statement would look like:

if (blah == blah){
blah = blah + 2;
blah;
}
else{
blah = blah + 3;
blah;
}

3) To write a comment, one way is to use '//' before you write the comment. i.e. blah = 0; //initialize blah to 0
