The anonymous function creates a local scope so that local variables and functions do not conflict with any other variables or functions in the page with the same names. See the list of "var" variables at the beginning of the anonymous function? If they weren't inside the function, they would be global variables. It's a very common technique in JavaScript libraries to avoid name conflicts. -Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
