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

[Peter Brunone]

   IIRC, alert() is actually a method of the document object, and therefore language-independent.

   MsgBox is a bit more flexible, and works inside and outside of the browser environment.

>> End Function
