[Solved] Help with a Javascript Store Locator

[cybershot]

I am working on a template that needs to have a store locator. So I did a test javascript file like this

function storeLocator()
{
var locations = new Array(5);

locations[0] = “Portland”;
locations[1] = “Seattle”;
locations[2] = “Washington”;
locations[3] = “Idaho”;
locations[4] = “Utah”;

document.write(locations[0]);
}

I called this locator.js. Then in the html file, put the script tag to include the js file and then in the html I tried calling it by function name like this

but it doesn’t work. My question is a 2 parter. 1) Do you have any advice on how to write this program so that it will work on zip or city? 2) what am I doing wrong that the portland won’t show when I run the html page?

I am new to javascript. I decided to write this program in javascript over php or any other language because it needs to be easily updateable and I figured javascript would be easiest to explain.
