The following are reserved words in JavaScript. These words MUST NOT be used in a script as JavaScript has reserved these words for use within the JavaScript internal structure. They cannot be used as JavaScript variables, functions, methods, loop labels, or object names. Unanticipated results will probably occur and cause unknown errors. The last selection is a compilation of general script protected and reserved words you should also avoid in your scripts. Updated 9/2009
