Post #54,436 by deSitter 10/2/02 9:48:51 AM Reply	Re: I agree. Supposedly, Adobe has tightened the language as compared to common browser Javascript. Did you notice in particular how this was done? I'm never learned enough to know what's better or worse. -drl
Post #54,479 by ChrisR 10/2/02 12:21:23 PM Reply	Same language... ...different core objects. That is, html is built on top of the Document Object Model (DOM), whereas Adobe uses their own pdf document model. Means that the syntax and basic operators are the same, but the core objects which can be manipulated are different.

Post #54,588 by static 10/2/02 10:16:32 PM Reply	I didn't look. The language in and of itself has been pretty good for a while. But if they meant "replacing the browser DOM with our .pdf DOM" then that's not "improving and tightening the language" in my book and they shouldn't tried to sell it as such. Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."
