Increment letter? 1

[shmmeee]

Hi,
I need to increment a character in my javascript. I can't find anywhere how to do it, I've tried charVar++; but that gives NaN, I was wandering if there is maybe an ascii-to-integer/integer-to-ascii function or if someone knows some other way of doing this. Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA,
Iain

String.fromCharCode(nASCII)
or may be escape() or unescape() regards, vic

Hi Vic,
thanks for your quick response (shouldn't have expected anything less from you ). From what I can see

String.fromCharCode(nASCII)

only works in IE and unfortunatly I need it working in both IE and NS4.75 :-( I looked at escape and unescape and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that they only escape non alphanumeric characters (like: !,%,$,£ etc.).
I hope this isn't another problem I can't solve, this project has thrown enough of them up already! Anyway thanks for the help, but if you think of anything else don't hesitate to tell me

TIA,
Iain X-)

Vic,
my bad, I didn't look in the right places, where ever told me that fromCharCode() only works in IE was wrong by the looks of it. It works perfectly, thanks for your help. (you are far from useless ).
