Why does my function keep crashing the page?

Question

I'm new to javascript and I can't figure out why my page keeps crashing when I run this function:

function q1check() {
var x= document.getElementById("q1form").value;
if (x=="V")
{var correct = document.getElementById("q1ans").innerHTML = "&#9989";}
else
{var incorrect = document.getElementById("q1ans").innerHTML = "&#10060";
var inccom = document.getElementById("q1comm").innerHTML = "Check Section 2"}

}

It will give the desired output and then crash the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I can't find any errors besides this one: the variable x will not ever = "V". You should use .innerHTML instead.

Answer 2

The problem was on the html side. Was using a form instead of a simple input. It made the input dissapear almost as soon as it was submitted
