Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / JavaScript / December 2005

I have now, alas it turns out that "The JavaScript debugger cannot be used
in non-Windows OS in this version of MyEclipse", which is a Big Minus for
me.  One would have thought they would include means to use an external
debugger of choice.  But then again the Code Assist feature specifies DOM
features like document.getElementById that NN4(!) does not support as "not
supported by Netscape" and "only supported by IE" ...

There appear to be some inaccuracies and omissions in the Language
Features table.

The following features work here in IE 4.01, which would put the JScript
version at 3.0 (at least).

  - UnicodeEscapeSequence in string and regular expression
    literals.
  - The arguments.callee property.
  - The String.prototype.charCodeAt method.

The following features work here in NN 4.08, which would put the
JavaScript version at 1.3 (at least).

  - The arguments object (as a local variable).
  - FunctionExpression (anonymous).

Missing features and other incorrect versions.

  - The Array.prototype.unshift method is not listed. It is a
    JavaScript 1.2/JScript 5.5 feature.
  - The Array.prototype.splice method is listed as a JavaScript
    1.2 feature, though it wasn't correctly implemented until 1.3
    (it didn't previously return an array containing removed
    elements). It is also listed as a JScript 2.0 feature, though
    it wasn't introduced until 5.5.

There might be other things that I didn't notice.
