Turning a number to superscript

[dalei]

The following code does not work. Can anyone help with modifying it?

<script type='text/javascript'>

function super2 ()
{
var theNum = prompt ('Please enter a number: ', ' ');
document.write ('Its superscript is: ' + ^theNum);
}

super2 ();
</script>

Thanks.

Did you mean
document.write ( 'Its superscript is: ^{' + theNum + '}' );

If not, let us know.

Or this

document.write ('Its superscript is: ' + theNum.sup());

Wondering why this does not work. It would be more preferred for
simplicity.

Sorry. I referred following code:

Ok, and now what was that a reference to?

Notice that everybody who has responded to you has included enough
of the previous post to be able to understand what they are talking
about, without having to trace back through old posts, which may
have already expired from the system.

No idea why it would no work. It works fine for me. Which part does not
work? The writing to a document or putting the sup tag around the string?

Ohh hmm, maybe because it think it is a number? Didn't try that.
What about:
document.write ('Its superscript is: ' + theNum.toString().sup());
or:
var theNum = prompt('Please enter a number: ', ' ').toString();
document.write ('Its superscript is: ' + theNum.sup());

Anyway, just wanted to say that string objects have a sup method you
might like to use.
