Answer» Why does this work?
Code: [Select]<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function ale_rt() { alert("I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body>
<input type="button" onclick="ale_rt()" value="Show alert box" />
</body> </html>But not this?
Code: [Select]<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function alert() { alert("I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body>
<input type="button" onclick="alert()" value="Show alert box" />
</body> </html>Same with the confirm command.You cannot give any function the same name as a predefined JS function, like alert, confirm, and a bunch more.Ok, yea I GUESSED that might be it, I'll have to find a list of predefined functions then...You'll be able to guess them after a while. Here: http://javascript.about.com/library/blreserved.htmAlright thanks. ANOTHER question... how do I go about actully practicing Javascript? Like I'm going through the tutorial at w3schools, but that doesn't mean I actually "know it" or can use it efficiently.
I need some way to practice it... any suggestions?Ahhh......
