Languages Focus: Case Sensitivity

Case sensitiviy in this case is referring to commands and variable names. For example, are "printf" and "PrintF" equivalent? Are fullname and FullName equivalent? When you create commands, operations, methods, or variables should you worry about case?

JavaScript Case Sensitivity

JavaScript is case sensitive. Change the case, and it no longer works! Notice the "W" in "Write" is capitalized.

<script language=JavaScript> 
<!--
document.Write("Hello"); //Does not work!
//-->
</script>

Variable names are case sensitive.

Syntax Example:

This does work:

<script language=JavaScript> 
<!--
document.write("Hello");
//-->
</script>
