>it uses the Rhino JS parser which Firefox uses Well, that's not true at all. Firefox uses the C based Javascript implementation in the Mozilla source tree. Rhino is pure Java, and there are differences in how they behave, including breaking your code on occasion.
However, if you can get the Dojo compressor working on prototype/scriptaculous, all the merrier. Here are pointers to the Dojo Compressor toolkit itself, an OS/X app, and the online shrinksafe service: http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/compressor_system.html http://download.dojotoolkit.org/osxapp/shrinksafe/ http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/shrinksafe/ Let us know what you find! -San --- Chris Korhonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would recommend the Dojo compressor for um... > compressing, it uses the > Rhino JS parser which Firefox uses, so it > 'understands' the code rather than > just applying a few rules.
