Java is different than JavaScript. Java is "pseudo" compiled to a universal virtual machine architecture. It is similar to Borland's Turbo Pascal. It is not truly compiled like C++ to the instruction set of a real chip. Some JavaScript implementations might perform "just-in-time" compilation on a specific target machine but JavaScript itself is an interpreter. It works with ASCII text. Obfuscated JavaScript is just ASCII text without excess white space and/or long variable names. The same obfuscated ASCII text will run on any machine architecture. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
