Cool New Stuff

Has anyone read about the new features in JavaScript 1.7? They sound pretty interesting, and are sure to help out lots to anyone who makes scripts. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/New_in_JavaScript_1.7

but isn't IE6 only supporting JavaScript 1.3??? So we'll not be able to use it for a long time....but it does look cool

Ya I know, it really sucks. But since IE 7 really isn't going to come out until 2007 (with vista), maybe they have time to...oh never mind. What am I thinking?

I was reading that IE7 is done they are just sitting on it to release with Vista.EDIT: interesting....a website I went to that detects the javascriopt version told me thisFireFox runs JavaScript 1.5Opera runs JavaScript 1.3 --- SHOCKINGIE runs JavaScript 1.3 (JScript 5.6)

The new firefox (v2 beta 2) runs 1.7. :)Opera runs javascript 1.3? Gosh!

Opera supports the entire ECMA-262 2ed and 3ed standards, with no exceptions. They are more or less aligned with JavaScript 1.3/1.5 Core.

ECMA-262 3ed is all you're looking for in a browser really. I wrote about the 1.7 -> 2.0 phase of JS in my blog a couple of months ago: http://blogs.ifcode.com/webworldx/56/javas...t-20-proposals/
