[Javascript] alert message proble with Netscape

Wed May 8 17:48:04 CDT 2002

Steve,
I believe the problem is the reference to JavaScript 1.3. If you omit the
1.3, the code works, at least on my system (WinXP Pro, NS 6.2). I also added
a space between the button value and the "onClick" part, and deleted the
spaces between the parantheses in the function names. I hope this code
displays correctly on your e-mail client - let me know if it doesn't.
<html>
<head name="WindowPane">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function displayWindowInfo() {
alert("I am in here but!");
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Display Window Information"
onClick="displayWindowInfo()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

The above code works if put into a test HTML file and opened with NS 6.2.
