Hi All,
First of all I would like to thanks every one to provide with
such a nice repository of JavaScripts. I've recently downloaded your
package and am using it for the first time.
I am facing an issue though. I've a JavaScript based countdown timer
in a .js file. This .js file is
Hi,
no String.insert method?
Correct, `String` doesn't intrinsically have an `insert` method.
Is this the best way? I don't really like it..
Pretty much, except that `substr` is not part of the standard (though
it's widely-supported, and it's noted in Appendix B, which is a non-

I mean, from what I can tell there isn't that could interfere

without polluting the parent (perhaps global) namespace. More here:
What an incredibly helpful and in-depth answer. Thank you TJC, my
confidence is restored
