I know pretty much nothing about javascript, but I know that it is case sensitive. Try googling around and see if thats the issue.

I have chronic problems with alerts not firing and I have yet to figure out why. No amount of quitting & restarting helps, and it doesn't matter what the alert id displaying, i.e. string or variable, etc. Certain alerts simply will NOT fire. Adding delays doesn't help, it simply gets skipped over every time no matter what.

 

Anyone else seen this type of behavior??

Not sure if this is the problem, but it is always worth a look as I made the following (very silly) mistake:

 

alert('Please read this entire alert. If you're going to insert alerts, don't make this error')

 

The above alert will not fire. Why? Well, because it has apostrophes in the words "you're" and "don't". There can only be two apostrophes for the "alert" to "fire", those being the ones before and after the text you want to appear.

 

I made that mistake and couldn't for the life of me figure out why my alerts weren't firing...then, I noticed...and felt very very silly.
