I actually added that, to save some bytes. now() is a private function, that is reused 5 or 6 times along the code.
1- new Date is the same as new Date(). 2- +new Date casts the date object to number. 3- When dates are casted to numbers, they behave like new Date().getTime(). So... that function returns a timestamp. That is, the amount of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_getTime.asp Cheers -- Ariel Flesler http://flesler.blogspot.com/ On 11 jun, 15:36, Doug D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm not familiar with the JavaScript syntax of "+new" in the now() > function in jQuery 1.2.5.
