A bug in JavaScript

I'm having trouble finding a bug in my JavaScript code. It tells me a runtime error has occurred: Expected ')'

Here is the code:

<xsl:for-each select="./projects/project">                      
    <script LANGUAGE='Javascript'>                  
    x = 0;
    if(x == 0) {
        document.write("<td style="background-color:#76787A" ><xsl:value-of  select="weight"/></td>")
    }
    else
    {
        document.write("<td><xsl:value-of select="weight"/></td>")
    }
    </script>                       
</xsl:for-each>

What do you think?

You need to escape the quotes in the String, or they aren't in the strings but terminating them. 

document.write("<td style=\"background-color:#76787A\" ><xsl:value-of  select=\"weight\"/></td>")

Look at your document.write calls. You have a string (inside the " ") that again has " " inside of it. To Javascript this means you are closing the string, then have nonsense text to javascript, then opening the string again, etc.... You need to escape your string with a backslash like this:

document.write("<td style=\"background-color:#76787A\" ><xsl:value-of  select=\"weight\"/></td>")
    }

You are not escaping your strings properly. If you look closely, the syntax highlighting here on SO shows you the problem.

Use escaped \" or single quotes ' when using quotes inside a string.

document.write("<td style='background-color:#76787A' >
                <xsl:value-of  select='weight'/></td>")
