Java script entities and firefox

Hi,

i am new in JavaScript and have a small problem

i am currently reading the "JavaScript complete reference" e-book, and the following example, about JavaScript entities doesn't work on Firefox 2.0.06

it works fine on ie7. the code is as follows :

<head>

var Bordersize=5;

var tablecellcolor="#ff0000";

var alignment = "center";

function setImage (){

var today = new Date();

var hours = today.getHours();

if ((hours >8) && (hours < 18))

return 'Sunset.jpg'

else

return 'moon.jpg';

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="&{tablecellcolor };">Java script entities</td>

</tr>

</table>

In the sky now : <img src="&{setImage() };" />

</body>

The entities in red should reefer to the variables declared and initialized in the head tag, and it does so but only in ie7,

I need your help, does Firefox is not fully compatible with JavaScript, I don't think so !

this functionality isn't part of javascript.
this is an IE only feature which you should stay away from.
