I am working on javascript, and I seem to find this strange, that the javascript function parseInt('08') is returning 0 and parseInt('07') is returning 7.

this behavior seems to be there in Firefox.

parseInt('08') is returning 8 in IE, but 0 in Firefox..

Why? I want parseInt('08') to return 8, as expected and getting in IE.
