Why Doesn't it Work?

[???]

Why doesn't:

function () {alert("Test");} ();

work?
Are you supposed to put a name

function !!!HERE!!! () {alert("Test");} ();

?
As if you were doing:

function test (stringie) {alert (stringie);}

?
I'm just wondering because sometimes if I want to localize variables I try and use that.

(function(){alert("Test");})();  //this will work

or as you write it with the whitespace:

(function () {alert("Test");}) ();

If you're any interested, I've written a little tutorial on Javascript at:
http://trinithis.awardspace.com/Java...roduction.html

It'll cover anonymous functions.

Thanks, but was I correct on why?

I don't know why it doesn't work without the extra set of parenthesis. Perhaps it's just a matter of syntax rules
