using a couple of custom buttons. The scroll is animated using jQuery animating the scrollTop property.

I wrote a couple of simple functions to handle the jQuery and named them scrollup() and scrolldown().  I uploaded my changes and received the ERROR: scrollup() is not a function. I checked my spelling on the function and the call and everything looked fine. Exhausted all other traditional avenues for debugging and found nothing .... time went by ......

..... yep .......................

............. a lot of time went by ...... and then I decided I would try something different in desperation .... I renamed the functions scroll_up() and scroll_down() and ...... they work fine. WTF

Weird stuff. I imagine they are reserved by the browser (in this case all browsers had same issue) or something but can't find a whole lot of information on it.  No traces of them being reserved here
