There's some subtlety as to why the score variable can retain its value between clicks. I understand it because of my experience with C#, lambda expressions, and closures, but it might not be so obvious to the beginning programmer.

I would have expected in the 2nd alert box to see that myScope was changed to "changed", but it remains "global".

myScope = "global";

(function () {
    myScope = "changed";
    var myScope = "function";
    alert('inside the function, the scope is: ' + myScope);
})();

alert('outside the function, the scope is: ' + myScope);

I was a little surprised at first that breakpoints in the script weren't honored when I hit F5 in the dev environment. After thinking about it, I suspect that VS is debugging the server side and not the client side.
