smonkey Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Northumberland, England Insane since: Apr 2003	posted 10-25-2003 01:44 Hi, This is just a request for some clarification as I'm having trouble with google. Basically what is 'const' and how does it differ from 'var'? Also I notice that lots of scripts lately are including XHTMLNS doctype type things: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle - see the js file and look for the lines below: var XHTMLNS = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; var d = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"div"); pat = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"p"); pad = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"p") What is this for?

While the 'var' is a variable variable so you can change its value whenever you feel like it. Never heard of the XHTMLNS thing before. _________________________ "There are 10 kinds of people; those who know binary, those who don't and those who start counting at zero" - the Golden Ratio -

Hi,

This is just a request for some clarification as I'm having trouble with google.

Basically what is 'const' and how does it differ from 'var'?

Also I notice that lots of scripts lately are including XHTMLNS doctype type things:
http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle - see the js file and look for the lines below:

var XHTMLNS = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";

var d = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"div");

pat = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"p");

pad = document.createElementNS(XHTMLNS,"p")

What is this for?

Thanks,

Jon
