How about an array whose values might change, and whose length might change, but which must not be allowed to be changed by user script: a read only but not fixed length array host object? This is essentially the same behaviour as a NodeList, without the additional methods on it. So the value of the length property must be able to be changed by the implementation. Same for the individual array element properties. I don’t think we can get this with regular data properties on a native Array object (or a subclass of one). -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
