Hi Marcos,

Cyril, That is standard notation for ECMAScript. Try it in your browser: <html>
<script>
test = ({
functionName: function() {
alert("test"); }
})

test.functionName(); </script>
</html>

I think it is beyond the scope of the XBL spec to contain such
definitions. Please let us know if you are satisfied with this response.
Thanks for the answer. I did not know that notation. It must be some object-oriented syntax. I agree that XBL does not need to redefine ECMAScript syntax. The question is: Is the ECMAScript syntax in the 'implementation' element free like:
<implementation>
foo = 1;
</implementation>

or shall/should it obey some specific ECMAScript syntax (as all the examples in the specification suggest), i.e. start with ({, contain only fonction declarations, and end with }).

If the syntax is free, please say so in the specification. If not, please give link to specifics constructs allowed from the ECMAScript specification. This would satisfy me.

Regards,

Cyril

Regards, Marcos

Subject: [XBL] ECMAScript Syntax


Dear XBL experts,

This email comments on the 7 September 2006 LCWD of XBL 2.0.

In many examples in the specification, in particular in Section 2.3, a syntax for ECMAScript definition of functions is used:

<implementation>
({
functionName: function() {
}
})
</implementation>

Is this standard ECMAScript notation ? Could you explain it or provide a

link to it ? What is the meaning of "({" ?
The get/set fonction in that section don't use the ':' ? Is it a typo ? If yes please fix it, otherwise highlight and explain this difference with the other functions.

Cyril Concolato
