Re: JS as a teaching language

You should try it before being thankful. The proper one is alert, not
Alert. And you might find that javascript: is more successful than
jscript: is.

You should try them out yourself, before being so criticful ;-).
They work as advertised.

This is Microsoft InternetExplorer we are talking about and MS has its
own Javascript implementation, called JScript and JScript seems to be
case-insensitive.

For Firefox the right address-line would be (as you correctly indicated):

javascript:alert(5*1.015)

(and the result would not be rounded)

But you knew that already. Or didn't you ;-)
