Hello I am having the current problem of my webpage not loading with two alert dialog boxes, when I comment out the second box and its line of code the webpage works but adding the second box causes the whole page to not work.

Answer

The error you are getting is:

Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

because you are missing a + operator:

Before:

alert("Result of value 1 == value 2 = " + equ + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 != value 2 = " + notEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 > value 2 = " + greTha + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 >= value 2 = " + greThanEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 < value 2 = " + lesTha + '\n' // Missing operator here
"Result of value 1 <= value 2 = " + lesThaEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 === value 2 = " + equEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 !== value 2 = " + notEquEqu);

After:

alert("Result of value 1 == value 2 = " + equ + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 != value 2 = " + notEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 > value 2 = " + greTha + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 >= value 2 = " + greThanEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 < value 2 = " + lesTha + '\n' + // All fixed!
"Result of value 1 <= value 2 = " + lesThaEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 === value 2 = " + equEqu + '\n' +
"Result of value 1 !== value 2 = " + notEquEqu);
