Hi, It rather surprised me that one of the things I had to turn to a plugin for was a timer. It seems like the kind of thing that would frequently be useful to have, abstracted to a nice jQuery interface, rather than using directly the rather ugly setTimeout function in Javascript. Why not implement a timer interface in the jQuery core?
You could also then take this one step further and use 1ms one-off timers to implement multithreaded programming through jQuery, too. I think this should work - a Javascript engine has to have the ability to do multithreading if several timers can callback over time whilst other JS code may be executing, right? So we could have a timer and multithreads abstracted out nicely in the jQuery core. Both would be nice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group. To post to this group, send email to jquery-...@googlegroups.com.
