Only works in Firefox

[Michael]

Firstly I'm not a Javascript pro but I know enough to get things
working in Firefox, I program in other languages so you don't need to
dumb down what you say though.

I've made this hangman script and it works fine in Mozilla Firefox but
not in IE6 or Opera 9. Could someone fix this for me please or tell me
where I'm going wrong. I think the problem has something to do with
global variables but I'm not sure.

Working (in firefox) version:

Thanks in Advance,

One problem I see is your attempt to iterate over the charactes in a
string with for..in and indexing characters in the string with square
brackets.
Use e.g.
for (var i = 0, l = string.length; i < l; i++) {
// access string.charAt(i) for character at index i
}
instead, that is what should work with any JavaScript implementation
nowadays.
