Hi, Mending a bug in our SAP BW web application, I need to call two javascript functions from the web framework library upon page load.

Why is isNaN(null) == false in JS?
This code in JS gives me a popup saying "i think null is a number", which I find slightly disturbing. What am I missing? if (isNaN(null)) { alert("null is not a number"); } else { alert("i think null is a number"); } I'm using Firefox 3. Is that a browser bug?
