Re: [Dynapi-Dev] ns6 w/h and browser advocacy

Hi,

Has anybody ever done some testing or wondered about the safety nature of
concurrent execution of code in JS ? It struck me that this timeout gimmick has
been discovered over and over again, to apparantly fix a recurring issue. It was
already pointed out by Cameron, that if you could fix this kind of behaviour by
using a Timeout, you probably stumbled on a browser bug... usually, in my years
of fooling around with JS, a Timeout could even prevent a browser from crashing
entirely.

What exactly happens if you would hook load event handlers to to two images, who
would fire simultaneously and call the same function, to change some common
global variables ?

CU,
 Dann
