(please > don't kill me but I actually kind of like Javascript::-) Don't worry, there's a secret society of JavaScript, um, ECMAScript[0], fans here. Current ECMAScript is edition 3. According to [1]: "Edition 4 is now expected to be released in Q3 2005. This will update the standard with respect to the language and the various differing implementations." (The likely reality, though, is that browser vendors will continue to implement whatever they feel best serves them. If that coincides with recognized specs or standards, so much the better. ) James [0] http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm [1] http://www.ecma-international.org/news/4xpr-final-2004.htm -- http://www.ruby-doc.org http://www.rubyxml.com http://catapult.rubyforge.com http://orbjson.rubyforge.com http://ooo4r.rubyforge.com http://www.jamesbritt.com
