<div>
but in this case test(,12) doesn't work
</div>

No it doesn't. You could however always use: test(null, 12) and add an additional if-clause to the test() function.<br />
<br />
Having calls like test(,,,,,12) however sound a bit VB-ish to me.. :^)<br />

Is there there a way to specify an optional variable in a function call, then set it to a value if nothing is passed through<br />
<br />
ie<br />
<br />
function test(variable1, variable2 optional=0 )<br />
<br />
then used test(1)<br />
<br />
variable1 = 1 and variable2 = 0<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

optional variable in javascript

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
