javascript syntax question

can this be done?

[evanheld]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the alert function in javascript to do some simple debugging. I am a novice at javascript, and I was wondering if you can insert values (integer and string) into the javascript alert function parameter.

e.g. alert("the value is " && [some integer value here]")

what would be the correct javascript syntax for this?

Thanks,
evanheld

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var num = 3;
alert("the value is " + num);
// -->
</script>
