Total newbie to JSCRIPT-101 question

rgouette · #1 (**permalink**) February 1st, 2006, 04:57 PM

So, here I am, trying to simply display a textbox with jscript.
I have Ultraedit32.
I have one line of code which reads:
window.alert("Welcome! Press OK to continue.");

I click the filename.js, and my WindowsXP o/s echoes this:
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'window' is undefined

someone please enlighten me as to what else needs to happen in order to display text?
Thanks in advance & I hope I didn't miss an existing JScript forum...

you don't need to be in a browser to use JScript, you need to be in a browser to use the 'window' object
