Apex Developer Guide - Code Not Working - HELP!

I am trying to work through the Apex Developer's Guide, but it's not going well. So far, I have attempted the first 3 pieces of code and all have not worked properly - or at all for that matter. I have the code typed in exactly as it appears on the page, but I get the little error triangle in the bottom left of my browser and the script does not run.
 
Am I missing something? I am using the lastest version of IE, Windows XP Prof. I'm quite familiar with html code so this isn't a foreign language to me, I know to remember to close tags and all of that stuff.
 
HELP! I really don't feel comfortable continuing through the book without figuring out my mistakes.

is it the hello world example in the quick start?
can you copy/paste the code from your environment
also when you get the triangle in the browser - can you double click and send the full text of the error message

I will try to help

Yes, the hello world is the last of the series that I had problems with.
 
There are two. One adds "World" to a field "Hello". That code:
 
public class MyHelloWorld {
    public static void addHelloWorld(Account [] accs) {
        for (Account a:accs) {
            if (a.Hello_c != 'World') {
                a.Hello_c = 'World';
            }
        }
    }
}
 
It says it needs this trigger:
 
trigger helloWorldAccountTrigger on Account (before insrt) {
    Account[] accs = Trigger.new
        MyHelloWorld.addHelloWorld(accs);
}
 
I can't get that one to work, nor can I get this to work. This script puts the text "Congratulations! Hello new Apex user! on a created custom S control called Hello World:
 
<html>
<head>
<type="text/javascript src="js/functions.js"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/11.0/connection.js"></script>
<script src="/soap/ajax/11.0/apex.js"></script>
<script>
function demo()  {
   var result = sforce.apex.execute('HelloWorld2' , 'sayHelloWorld',
{arg:"new Apex user!"});
y
   document.getElementById('userNameArea').innerHTML = 'Congratulations!'
         + '  ' + result;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload=demo()>
   <div id=userNameArea>
   </div>
</body>
</html>
 
Thanks for offering to help! It is MUCH appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

You're mixing two different examples. To test the MyHelloWorld class and helloWorldAccountTrigger trigger you simply need to make sure you have the field Hello_c on your account page layout and create a new account.  What you'll see is that the value "World" will be displayed even though you didn't enter a value.
 
The scontrol example is using a different class MyHelloWorld2.

I stated that those were two examples. I can't get either of them to work. I checked and I have it as you say on the page, but I don't get "World" in the field when I create a new account.
 
The second one generates a blank page. I don't have them stored together in one piece of code. They are separate in SalesForce as they tell you to.
