I tried some javascript testing in VS2005, SP1, VB , .NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0
on WIN XP Pro, SP2.

It's real simple. I put a button on a page and coded the onClick in it
like this:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Style="z-index: 103; left: 528px;
position: absolute; top: 392px" Text="Button" OnClick="ShowCal" />

Here is the function:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function ShowCal() {
var x = Button1.Style.z - index;
alert(x);
}
</script>

It won't let me run the program saying "'ShowCal' is not a member of
'ASP.default_aspx'"

If javascript is so popular, why can't i use it?

Because you're not calling it... The OnClick event of an <asp:Button> will
cause the page to post back (unless you're using AJAX or something similar)
and try to run a server-side method...

Change your code to the following:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Style="z-index: 103; left: 528px;
position: absolute; top: 392px" Text="Button" OnClientClick="ShowCal();" />
