// should be implemented by Window objects
interface WindowTimer {
Timer startTimer(in double delayInSeconds, in boolean repeating,
in TimerHandler handler);
}
How about a "Timer" constructor function instead?
Pros:
* Fits the object-oriented programming model of "new Image", "new
XMLHttpRequest", etc.
* Enables use of object-oriented features like instanceof,
the .constructor property, and prototype-based extensions to timer
objects.
* Distinguishes itself better from the old setTimeout / setInterval
functions.
readonly attribute double timeElapsed; // time in seconds since
"elapsedTime" reads better to me, since it makes "elapsed" definitely
an adjective, and not a verb.
Overall, I think this is a great proposal.
Cheers,
