It is a property of the global object. And a host-defined one at that, as specified in ES3F, section 10.1.5, second item, first sentence, and ES5, section 15.1, last paragraph, first sentence. (Given how many times the last sentence has been misunderstood, probably it should have never been included in the Specification in the first place.) PointedEars -- Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript. -- Richard Cornford, cljs, <f806at$ail$1$8300dec7(a)news.demon.co.uk> |
