Actually, it's probably the best syntax. By having the double parentheses,
the JS interpreter knows the assignment operation within the first set of
parentheses has to occur before the condition test for true/false. Without
the double set of parentheses, Netscape's interpreter flags this as a
potential syntax error (i.e. - "=" instead of "=="). So actually, the fact
IE doesn't see it as a problem is perhaps an example of Microsoft trying to
"think" for the programmer...

That's just plain dodgy..
I do hope NetScrape get's it's act together..
It would be a dream (IMHO) to code for a browser that
is fully WC3 DOM complient..
