obfuscation of function or namespace names is problematic in JavaScript. There is no safe way to rename a function because the programmer can "calculate" the function name. What is someone writes code like this: var package = "ui" alert(qx[ui]) Others do this kind of obfuscation (I think dojo does) and it should not be too hard to implement but it always puts constraints on how you can call the functions and potentionally breaks existing code. There are no plans to implement this in the short term could land in qooxdoo sometime. Best Fabian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
