Strange results for Beta Distribution

Dear All, I got these results from the example in the function "dbeta":
x <- seq(0, 1, length=21)
dbeta(x, 1, 1)
[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Any Idea?
The density function for Beta(p,q) is (x^(p-1))*((1-x)^(q-1))/B(p,q). In your example, p = q = 1, so the density function is 1 everywhere.
