• Exploring Race Conditions In Javascript With SetInterval(), SetTimeout(), And AJAX

  Posted on Feb 9, 2011 at 1:30 PM

  @Dan But don't workers only have access to worker global scope (not window global scope) they won't be able to effect that aspect? I would also assume the messaging API listening on the window for worker messages would also be event based and not have any race conditions.... read more »

• jQuery Event Bindings On Javascript Objects With A Length Property

  Posted on Apr 26, 2010 at 9:52 AM

  I think it must be how jQuery uses the native length property for sanity checks internally. For fun if you were to set bar's length property to 20... when you trigger your custom event, it should run it 20 times?... read more »
