Hi: As a programmer, please use a debugger to try and understand the state and behaviour of your program during execution. All JavaScript programmers working with Firefox/Mozilla should install 'VENKMAN'. Yes, Venkman is a javascript debugger (firefox extension). Please download and install from here http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/ There might also be differences between IE JScript and standard JavaScript used in Firefox/Mozilla. Please refer to the canonical standard at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JavaScript You also need to decide which version of JavaScript are you using 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 ? One of the strange things I have noticed is that scripting folks do not use debuggers ! why ? Scripting is important today and debugger's are even more so ! thanks Saifi.
