Yes Rob, you're right. In David's defense, though, he was perhaps indicating that the solution could be found in nearly every Javascript book or tutorial ever written. Even those from the "dark ages" when Netscape Navigator was the hottest browser around.
I don't have much faith that someone lacking knowledge of setTimeout (and, it would seem, the ability to Google it) would understand the phrase "DOM Level 0." Besides, he'd be correct in saying the method will exist in every major modern browser implementation of Javascript. Cut the guy some slack. For most (hobbyist) programmers, the ubiquitously implemented BOM/DOM standards **are** "Javascript." I can understand the desire to be precise. I'm obsessive/compulsive/ passive/aggressive/etc. that way too. =) TAG On Apr 11, 2007, at 1:26 AM, RobG wrote: > On Apr 11, 9:36 am, David Dashifen Kees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> As Christophe indicated, setTimeout isn't part of Prototype.js -- >> it's >> actually just part of JavaScript. > > Nope, it's part of DOM Level 0, it's a method of the window object. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
