You have nearly answered a question that I forgot to ask - by giving an
ambiguous answer.

What does   (0.5).toString(9).length     give in IE9 (and, if possible,
in IE10?) ?

The answer will go in <http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-flaws.htm#Auto>,
row I.  Can I remove the beta from the IE9 column heading?



As regards a previous matter, this is what a JavaScript date-neophyte
might well write to set April 15th of the current year (that appears to
be a sort of ritual day to your South) :

        D = new Date( ) ; D.setMonth(3) ; D.setDate(15) ; D
which sometimes gives May 15th, whereas
        D = new Date( ) ; D.setMonth(3, 15) ; D
and
        D = new Date(0) ; D.setMonth(3) ; D.setDate(15) ; D
should be reliable.



Another GW article in this thread :

When, in 1581 and 1751, a change to the secular calendar was enacted, a
revised Easter rule was also authorised.  The Orthodox, being anti-
Papist, ignored both.  If the secular calendar is again changed, there
should be no religious objection to making a corresponding change.
Moreover, consider the UK's Easter Act 1928 : the Church found a so-
called fixed Easter date acceptable.  OTOH, my advice is to have Easter
Sunday always on yyyy-W15-7, which differs only slightly from the effect
of the (unimplemented) Act.  That Act ought to have applied to, or been
copied by, the Dominions of the time.
