I have enclosed in only 5 steps JScript weirdness, hoping all precedent deliriums about functions, standards, and Internet Explorer, will make more sense now. Here there is the link to original HTML slides , I hope this will help everybody to have clearer ideas.

After I've read Ajaxian post about JavaScript as a command line scripting language I thought it could be interesting to know how to create the first Windows console. The console.js File function print(text){ WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(text); }; function quit(){ WScript.quit(1); }; while(!WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfStream){ try{ eval(WScript.StdIn.ReadLine()); }catch(e){ print(e.message); }; }; WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("bye!" + "\r\n"); The console.bat Launcher @echo off cscript console.js A double click in latter file, and that's it, the most basic native JScript console ever has landed in your PCs - enjoy :)

While I was creating a stand alone implementation of the LSSP described in my last HTML5 sessionStorage project , I did some test and bench as every Agile developer should do. Well, what I have discovered, is that apparently Internet Explorer could perform some common task better than any other browser, at least in my good old Intel Centrino 1.6 Ghz. I have created a benchmark page able to freeze my Firefox 3.5.2, to ask me if I would like to continue an Array.join execution with an average score that points out my Internet Explorer 8 wins with a score under 300 milliseconds against Chrome, Firefox and Safari. As summary, is my Centrino dead or there's something we all did not consider about JScript engine? P.S. Opera 10 beta 2 seems to score about 130 milliseconds as average, good stuff!
