Is “clear” a reserved word in Javascript?

Question

I just spent a long time figuring out that I shouldn\'t use clear() as the name of a function in Javascript:

Answer 1

Good question. I think the problem is a scoping issue - your onClick="clear()" is not going to the clear function you defined, but I'm not sure where it's going. Changing it to window.clear() or a new function that simply calls your clear works.
