Sorry for the delay - taking over QA for the JavaScript Engine group - I'm afraid I have to mark this as invalid. The ParseInt() function treats a first argument beginning with "0" as an octal number, not base 10. Thus, the only valid digits for numbers beginning with "0" would be 0-7. A good reference for the parseInt() function is page 186 of the following: "Javascript: The Definitive Guide (Third Edition), by David Flanagan (O'Reilly 1998) Notice that parseInt() also accepts a second argument, which you can use to specify the base you want to use. Using this, parseInt("08", 10) = 8 parseInt("09", 10) = 9
