You got it, that's exactly what I was getting at, Ricardo. I assumed that they actually meant "closures", but who knows, they could have even been referring to something else.
Actually I've been getting a kick out of (or getting annoyed by, I'm not sure which) the terminology that's come into use in the Google Maps API mailing list. Over there they call it "Function Closure" - with the caps and the singular. They use in context like this: "You need to achieve Function Closure." Not the way I would word it, but at least I can understand what they mean. :-) I missed the part about the "JavaScript class" - yeah, massive fail there. -Mike > From: Ricardo Tomasi > > I think Michael wanted to point out that they're called > 'closures' and not 'enclosures'.
