I couldn't find it in > ECMA262-3 nor in WA1.0. Can you give me a hint where it's defined? If you can find a definition (as opposed to a description) it'll be in the Mozilla documentation, it was a JavaScript 1.3 extension to ES, and even in their description, it doesn't say it applies to host objects in the ES sense, it certainly doesn't work with host objects in other implementations. I certainly can't see what the problem with tokenising a string on whitespace is, that very code is required throughout browsers, and is the sort of "my first project" in a CS course... Jim.
