<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, I'm a newbie. I'm working on a
presentation for my computer science class at the University of Maine at
Augusta. My presentation is taking apart a java/j script that works in
both Netscape and IE and creating 2 separate scripts (ie, one Javascript and one
jscript). I took the program apart and created the Javascript without
problem. My problem is the jscript. I cannot get it to work and have
absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help? (NOTE:
I've already downloaded the documentation at microsoft for
jscript.)</FONT></DIV>
