javascript button error

I am getting the following error when I try configuring a JavaScript button, which should create a Task record

User-added image


This is my script

{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js')}
var connection = sforce.connection;
var newtask= new sforce.SObject("Task");
newtask.Subject = "Tried Calling";
newtask.WhoId="{!Lead.Id}";
newtask.Description="Tried calling, but could not get through";
newtask.ActivityDate={!Today}
newtask.Status="Completed";
newtask.Type="Admin Call";
newtask.Priority="Low";
result = sforce.connection.create([newtask]);
alert(result );

I am a total beignner at this, so have copied and amended this script based on other posts

Hi,

Please update your code with the below code : 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js')}
//alert(new Date());
var connection = sforce.connection;
var newtask= new sforce.SObject("Task");
newtask.Subject = "Tried Calling";
newtask.WhoId="{!Lead.Id}";
newtask.Description="Tried calling, but could not get through";
newtask.ActivityDate= new Date();
newtask.Status="Completed";
//newtask.Type="Admin Call";
newtask.Priority="Low";
result = sforce.connection.create([newtask]);
alert(result );

I have tried the above code in my org and it is working as expected.

Please let me know if you face any issue with the above code.

Thanks,
Abhishek Bansal.

Perfect, thanks Abhishek!

I hadn't realised what the alert(result) command did, so I removed that and also added a location.reload() command on the end to refresh the page
