Look at the uses of [b]call[/b]/[b]apply[/b]/[b]Function[/b]/[b]join[/b] in my evil two-liner earlier, you could use a few built ins that way. I don't think it's cheating in any way, using built ins in general like that. However, in my specific example those function calls eliminated a lot of user code by embedding it into a string which got compiled as a function body. This specific use to eliminate executable code from the count is what I would call cheating, on the other hand. You can't really achieve anything of note using only the ECMAScript built-ins. You can only chain functionality so far before you enter a point of no return. Nothing in the ECMAScript standard library or the DOM and BOM is inherently chainable in the way JQuery allows chaining. If you wanted long chains, you'd have to insert stuff that increased your line count to link the chains together. -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]\|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]\|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"}; Loading...
