Hello,

I'm doing some JavaScripting on the Amiga lately but I must say it's a real
pain in the ass. You complety can't expect what code will work on which
amiga browser.

I always that Aweb would give the best results because it would with the
most things i got from the net. There where even some digital clocks that
would work with Aweb, and some games too. Never managed that with IB or V.

But now i have something really simple that works with IB but not with Aweb:
<html>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
<!--
function Open() {
alert("dit moet toch wel werken")
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="Open()">
</BODY>
</html>

It should only open a simple alertbox after loading, but it doesn't do
anything. After some fiddling with the settings i managed to get the Alert
for 1 time. With IB this doesn't give any problems. Do i something wrong
here?

Next thing: I say a digital clock that worked with Aweb. I guess it makes
use of the function SetTimeout("somefunction",1000) to update itselfs. I
can't get it to work with Aweb, is this function implemented?
And are there any alternatives, because i really saw a working clock in
Aweb.

All these questions because i want to make a digital clock and the game
Simon Says in JS. I saw both programs working on Aweb so I must can do it
too :)

Me really thinks to do JS on my PC from now, it's to much hassle on the
amiga :(

Kind regards
