[Javascript] Same-named functions (was link onclick=location.hrefnot working)

[Chris T]

Hmmm, I thought VBScript was MsgBox(), not alert().

Quick question... How many of you actually use VBScript? I'm talking
client-side, not server-side.

speculation.  In this case, I put together a small sample for IE6, and the
result was a trip to Bizarro World.  Consider the following:

> <br>

> <script language="Javascript">
> function gabooga() {
> alert("gabooga javascript");

> <script language="VBScript">
> Function Gabooga
>    alert("Gabooga VBScript")
> End Function
