Problem with alert box and form code help

This code won't produce an alert box as it's designed to do. Any ideas why?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
//var xmlHttp
//var i=0;

function showTable(table,str) {
alert ("table = " +table " and str = " +str);
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">
Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="showTable('clients',this.form)">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

Shouldn't it produce an alert box saying, "table =  clients and str = 'what you type in'"?

you are missing a + after table:

alert ("table = " +table + " and str = " +str);

also, if you want the value of the text box, your button code should be:

<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="showTable('clients',this.form.inputbox.value)">
