Function not defined error

    I get a function not defined error in my firefox javascript console and I can't figure out why. Here's the javascript

    <script src="findDOM.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript">

    var hideit="true";
    var hideit2="true";

    function swap_visibility(objID, cellid){
    alert("not working");
    var domcell = findDOM(cellid, 1);
    domcell.className = "navbright";
    alert("line 3");
    var domobj = findDOM(objID, 1);
    domobj.visibility = "visible";


    }

    function reset_visible(objID, cellid){
    var domcell = findDOM(cellid, 1);
    domcell.className='nav';
    var dom = findDOM(objID, 1);
    if (hideit == "true"){
    dom.visibility = "hidden";
    hideit = "true";
    )
    }

    </script>


    Here's the calling HTML

    <td class="nav" id="ddcell" onMouseover="swap_visibility('DrunkDriving', 'ddcell'); return true;" onMouseout="reset_visible('DrunkDriving', 'ddcell'); return true;">DrunkDriving</td>

    Pretty simple right? So why doesn't it think that neither "swap_visibility" nor "reset_visible" are not found? I must be blind. Thanks in advance.

    Have you put all of this code in the <head>?

    Yes, good thought. But what you see is in the head tag (obviously aside from the calling html). I'm really stumped, and it's going to end up being something stupid :)

    Is there any more error messages above that? If the function is there but the error message says otherwise, most probably there is a syntax error somewhere which causes the function definition not loaded by the JS engine.

    well, you were right on something ... it was really stupid,

    it's a )
    instead of a }

    that closes the if { of your last function (see the line before the last } )

    Have a nice day

    Yep, that was it. Thanks. I knew a second pair of eyes would find it.
