New JavaScript Updates in Firefox 3
John Resig has written an article outlining the updates to JavaScript in the latest version of Firefox - Firefox 3. This version is still in Alpha stage. The major points are...
clientLeftandclientTopare now supported- You can hide cookies from JavaScript(XSS protection)
- Offline Coding Support
- RegExps have a new /y flag
Unfortunately, no matter how cool the new updates, we will not be able to use it until, say, 2010. This is because the other browsers will only catch up with the changes then. Another factor is that many users will still be using the older versions.
I have still not started using the new stuff in Firefox 2 - like Array.map, Array.every, etc. More about JavaScript 1.7 - introduced in Firefox 2.
