This part is incorrect:

Number(this.getField("Textfield69").value) >= 1&&<=8

You need to write out each condition in the if-statement in whole, like this:

Number(this.getField("Textfield69").value) >= 1 && Number(this.getField("Textfield69").value) <=8

You should really spend some time studying the code JavaScript syntax. It will help you solve many of these problems on your own...

The problem now is that you're using the assignment operator ("=") instead of the comparison operator ("==") in some of your if-statements.

If you use the Number constructor then you should compare to numbers, not

strings.
