Not saying that it's not a good idea (I'd view it akin to locking for threads, just less generally useful), but what on earth does that have to do with ECMAScript? ECMAScript doesn't deal with documents, browsers, laying them out visually or drawing them. The browser is just one of numerous possible host environments. The specifications that deal with the browser host in particular are the DOM ones. The W3C WebAPI group seems to have control over most of DOM specs (SVG DOM, HTML DOM and similar aside), that's probably a better place to ask for this. -- David "liorean" Andersson _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list Es4-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
