[thelist] JS Question

[Salvatore Palmisano]

My JS isnt what it should be, and I cant seem to figure out why this isnt
working:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--

var x, y;
x = 3;

y = x.toString(8);
document.writeln(y);
document.writeln(x);

-->
</SCRIPT>

to.String(y) is supposed to convert the number to the y format (8 being
octal) isnt it?
Currently the writeln(x) and writeln(y) lines are outputting the same thing.

Did I miss a step?
