Hi:

    I too use IE (actually IE7) as my test bed because my small set of users 
are older people with IE as the browser.

    In any case, *my* error was using the assignment operator :=   instead 
of =

    (altho I have used FoxBase, FoxPlus, and later FoxPro,  for the last ten 
years I've used Harbour/xHarbour for web site development.  This language 
uses := as the assignment operator.)

    I spent two hours wondering why nothing was happening as I modified code 
in my Javascript.  Even the Alert() messages were not displaying.

    After *finally* locating this faulty assignment operator and correcting 
it, my javascript started working again.

    So, altho I have Chrome and FF on my dev machine, I do most of my 
primary development using IE and Javascript.

    I guess I'll have to use more Chrome or FF for development.

    (but again, the biggest confusion is syntactic because my language is so 
much like Javascript, but again different in many small ways -- and I 
program in both languages every day -- a brain buster !)
