btw, Thomas, have you anything to say (maybe in a new thread), regarding what we've been so hotly debating here these last few days? ie. future of proto?

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?
Thanks,
Peter
