Otherwise, it is meaningless. I suggest you inspect the results of these functions in the developer console, and not via alerts.

Thank you, Igor.

Yes, I have been trying to explore options through the console, too.

The issue that I did not get to describe, is that I have been finding
that it frequently seems to ignore my breakpoints in Firebug.  If I put
a breakpoint between the two alerts, I see the alert messages, but it
does not stop at the breakpoint.

As I said, I am getting very frustrated by this.  All I want to do is to
send the data represented by foo to the server.
