Self invoking functions javascript

Question

I wrote a self invoking function in both firefox and chrome it it wouldn\'t invoke.

I wrote something to the effect of

(function () { alert(\"THE\")         


        

Answer 1

That function works. Javascript supports functional programming, so for a browser not to run that code, even for a very old browser that would be absurd. Are you sure that statement is being reached? Try debugging javascript that occurs before that statement.
