Javascript Function Variable Passing Syntax Issue

Question

I'm trying to pass variables into a Javascript function and running into a problem that I don't understand.

This is fine.

<select name="AppointmentTimeDropDownList" id="username" onchange="checkUserName(this.value, document.forms['CustomerInteractionForm'].elements['AppointmentDateTextBox'].value)">

But this give me a syntax error my IDE says its missing ; before statement.

<select name="AppointmentTimeDropDownList" id="username" onchange="checkUserName(this.value, document.forms['CustomerInteractionForm'].elements['AppointmentDateTextBox'].value), document.forms['CustomerInteractionForm'].elements['AppointmentAssignedToDropDownList'].value)">

You have an additional ) at .elements['AppointDateTextBox'].value), that is likely there from your original statement. — Ian Bishop

Derp, sometimes someone else just needs to look at your code, thanks!

Not to start an editor war, but if you're not already, using a text editor that highlights matching brackets, braces, and parenthesis, these sort of mistakes can become more obvious.
