In an ordinary browser window, the default scope of JavaScript code is the window, so this refers to the window object. The line
var window = this; has no purpose except to allow the YUI Compressor to change the variable name to save space. Thus, code like this (for example): var window = this; window.scrollTo(0, 120); can be reduced to var A = this; A.scrollTo(0, 120); Then, A is a reference to window, and you don't need to spell out the entire word "window" each time you want to refer to it. Hopefully that was clear. ~spicyj --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
