Subj : Roots To : netscape.public.mozilla.jseng From : Issac Goldstand Date : Sun May 09 2004 01:43 am Can someone give me a bit of insight into exactly what a root is and how it works? I understand theoretcially that it "binds" a variable to not be gc-ed, but I'm unclear of how to work with it on a practical level. Thanks! Issac .
