I am no guru in Javascript but I do know that I can use parseInt to convert textbox value to int. So I used it in one of the application I am working on that detects robot number and take action accordingly. We have 25 robots and application works fine with all of them except no 8 and 9. The textbox was displaying robot number as 01,02,03,...25. When robot no 8 turn up at the launch pad application simply did not fire any function it suppose to. My first thought was it must be something to do with number less then 10 but it was working fine with robots 1 to 7 so next I put a debugger on to see what is going on and watch parseInt convert 08 and 09 to 0. In Javascript parseInt consider strings starting with 0 as base 8 and that was the culprit.
parseInt("01") returns 1
parseInt("02") returns 2
parseInt("03") returns 3
parseInt("04") returns 4
parseInt("05") returns 5
parseInt("06") returns 6
parseInt("07") returns 7
parseInt("08") returns 0
parseInt("09") returns 0
Lesson learned : use parseInt(textvalue,base) function

Interesting! But I am afraid I have to ask. I am not a web developer, so I must be missing something  . Can you please explain: http://jsfiddle.net/y62ww3yw/[^]
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

See http://es5.github.io/#E[^], search for "octal" on that page.
The behaviour changed. Starting the string with 0 is no longer allowed to screw you over with a "surprise octal". But effectively that means it depends on the implementation, with some doing it and others not, so effectively the situation is even worse now.

According to ECMA standard any string that not start with '0x' should be interpreted as 10 base...However not all browsers implement it in kine with the standard...
For instance Opera and Safari will return 0, but Chrome and Firefox will return 8...
The best practice is always provide base...

I read that Microsoft keeps 90% of its cash assets, outside of the U.S. They plan on keeping Minecraft where it is at, in Sweden, I believe.
Soon the license fee will $600 and you will have to have a Microsoft login and Steve will become 3 dimensional player/character. (i'm joking here)
Sucks, really.

I seriously cannot decide.
I find some of the answers to the questions amazing. But there is alot of dribble on there meaning Questions like the following "Are the bathrooms clean in Iowa or do you all have outhouses?"
Not sure? Other opinions about and opinion site?
Probably just the normal reaction, to the normal intelligence of people on them there interwebs.

Just ignore it. It's not relevant enough that you have to care.
