Please take a look at the site tdsoft.se
The script on that page works in opera, firefox chrome etc and prints out “random_1” as it is suposed to do, but in internet explorer it just prints out (“undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined“), that is ‘undefined’ for each letter. My question is if some of you bright fellows out there might know the answer to this problem?

This is not working in IE,
listX [posX-1]. The result of this is “undefined” so you sould use another way to get the char likechatAt()method
