Array.length anybody?
I came across a fun little issue today that I think should have been more obvious to me. Apparently, and I can’t believe I’m saying this: IE and Firefox parse Javascript differently. Take the following code:
var foo = [
{'one': 1},
{'two': 2},
];
What should the length be? In Firefox 2 & 3 the length is 2, but in IE7/IE8 the length is 3. I can’t confirm this, but considering I figured this out due to a *NEW* bug in one of our products, I think this is somewhat new in IE.
On a side note, it’s interesting that IE even parses the above considering the following code will break:
var foo = {
'one': 1,
'two': 2,
}
The difference here is of course that foo in the second example is an object, whereas the first example it’s an array.
