Could you elaborate? 54761 3 Ms2ger 2011-08-12 08:34:21 +0000 Note: These requirements are a willful violation of the JavaScript specification current at the time of writing (ECMAScript edition ---> 3 <---). The JavaScript specification requires that the ToBoolean() operator convert all objects to the true value, and does not have provisions for objects acting as if they were undefined for the purposes of certain operators. This violation is motivated by a desire for compatibility with two classes of legacy content: one that uses the presence of document.all as a way to detect legacy user agents, and one that only supports those legacy user agents and uses the document.all object without testing for its presence first.
