document.writeln("That is all the name(s) that we have today.")
}
}

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but you misnamed variables as well as did some other things that would cause this script to fail.

Here is what I determined is a "fixed" version:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Testing</TITLE>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function human(name,title)  {
    if (name == "Mark C. Davis")   {
        document.writeln("<br>" + name + " is an employee of XYZ" + "<br>")
    }
    else  {
        document.writeln("That is all the name(s) that we have today.")
    }
}

function employee(Name,Number,Title)  {
    this.empName = Name
    this.empNumber = Number
    this.empTitle = Title
    this.titleReview = human(Name,Title)
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BR>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

mark = new employee("Mark C. Davis", "10309", "Supervisor")
mark.titleReview

</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I'm still getting an error on "name not defined". I readjusted my script (yeah, they were dumb mistakes) - but it's still not working. Any more ideas? Thx.

Javascript is case sensitive - "name" and "Name" aren't the same.

Also, Number is built-in Javascript class name. Maybe this doesn't matter, but still try to use more unique names.
