Yep, it thinks it's octal because of the leading 0.  I really loved that
'feature' when I had written some javascript to create barcodes and every so
often it would just put in a zero.

So you have to say parseInt(i,10) to ensure that it knows it is decimal.

Will you guys run this on various browsers and tell me why 8 and 9 are ZERO?

I'm on IE 5.5 SP2 on NT4

for (x=5; x<10; x++)
{
	i = '0' + x; // convert to STRING
	alert(i + '\n' + parseInt(new Number(i)) + '\n' + parseInt(i));
}
