This reminded me of the age-old question of how much we need to say  

about _javascript_ itself in the OpenLaszlo docs.


This subject comes up from time to time when people  expect to find  

certain _javascript_ libraries (regexp being the most common) and  

discover they're not there, or conversely, as in my case, forget  

entirely that there sometimes there are _javascript_ methods that work on  

OL objects but which are not in the OL docs.


Anybody care to comment on the best way to handle this general problem  

(from a documentation point of view, that is).


Thanks,

I think we do need some documentation coverage of _javascript_, but only so far as giving the following:

- a pointer to some good references and tutorials, such as the ECMA-262 standard or the O'Reilly JS book

- a description of what ECMA-262 features we support and don't support in LZX scripting

- a description of any extensions to ECMA-262 that are present in LZX scripting
