kpakodev: You guys never told us that. No tutorial or blog or articles I have read has ever made mention of these as browser api’s and not part of javascript itself . If so , which features constitutes of javascript then. Variable? If statements? While loops? Functions? |

kpakodev: Most of those things are add to js by the web browser built-in runtime environment to make it able to use those api from JavaScript but they aren't in the core language it self.... You won't find any of those in the v8 or spidermokey js engine specification the same you won't find those features nodejs add to js on v8 engine specification |
