Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Prototype.js strips scripts before innerHTML

[Thomas Fuchs]

AFAIK the setTimeout makes sure that the eval() is executed in the window-global context,  and not the local execution context of the method it happens to be in. -Thomas Am 21.07.2006 um 16:19 schrieb Ryan Gahl: scripts inserted via innerHTML are not executed, so this ensures any scripts actually get executed... does anyone else have the scientific answer for the timeOut? prevent UI blocking as much as possible? There are potential benefits, but it's probably not 100% necessary. On 7/21/06, Peter Michaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I have been spending a lot of time reading Prototype.js. Because there are no comments, I don't understand the rational for why it is doing a few things. Two things are in Element.update   update: function(element, html) {     $(element).innerHTML = html.stripScripts();     setTimeout(function() {html.evalScripts()}, 10);   }, Why strip the scripts before inserting? Is this only for NS6 browser support? Why wait 10 ms before evaluating the scripts?
