What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. simple test script for base64 encode/decoder...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Hi, rbartlett_jr. I appreciate your taking the time to create tests, but your 
test page has a number problems. You're trying to use variables that are 
undeclared and undefined (e.g., strHttp); you're trying to parse non-base64 
strings as base64 (e.g., strWikiText, and again with testString); and you're 
using non-existent functions (e.g., decode64).

Below is your test page but corrected, and the output is exactly as expected.

The sections that used the var strHttp were not required for this issue and I 
stripped it out before posting. In fact, the sections not related to base64 
should be ignored. I failed to remove those sections prior to posting.


Thank you for the clarification. I have confirmed that it does work as you have 
explained.
You may consider using this for your FAQ / demo section as the example 
demostrating base64 encode/decoding can be a bit confusing (at first).
