[Sorry for my JS > newbie Qs] The test is doing a non-obvious trick. It's commented out from the initial HTML page load. However, the test then opens a worker with the same URL (modulo the fragment), which means that the same source gets interpreted as javascript by the worker. In javascript, <!-- is a line comment (like //), so the code at the top gets executed, while the part between /* ... */ is ignored. I was the one who came up with and started using the above trick, so sorry for causing confusion. :-) -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
