+  *
-  * for (var=start;var%%<=%%end;var=var+inc) {}
-  * while (condition) {}

-==== Events, Error Handling and Popups ====
-  *  try { throw "errname"; } catch(err) {}
-  * onerror=handleErr; handleErr(msg,url,linenum)
-  * if handleErr returns false, browser displays a standard error message in the JavaScript console.
-  * an alert box just has an OK button - alert("msg")
-  * a confirm box returns true if the user clicks OK, false if he clicks cancel - confirm("msg")
-  * a prompt box allows the user to enter a value. It returns true if the user clicks OK, false if he clicks cancel - prompt("msg","defaultvalue");

-  * Date objects include methods: getTime(epoch), setFullYear, toUTCString, getDay, getHours
-  * Date objects can be compared using <, > .
-  * To declare an array <code html> var mycars=new Array("Saab","Volvo","BMW");</code>
-  * Arrays have methods including: sort, concat, join.
-  * To sort an integer array, must use a function <code html> function intSort (a, b){ return a - b;}</code>
-  * The Math object contains common math routines: round, random, e, pi etc.
-  * The RegExp object supports regexp creation and searching including methods: test (t/f), exec, compile (alter).
