Greetings all,

I recently had of a phone interview for a design job where I was asked the
following question:  the JavaScript function

function logon ();

works under Netscape but will not under IE.  Do I have any ideas why?

I was clueless, but tossed out a few lame ideas.  Afterward the interviewer
told me that logon is a reserved word in JavaScript under IE.  I have NEVER
heard of this.  Am I missing something in my JavaScript education? Every
list of reserved words I've ever seen has never included "logon".
