As many will know, javascript is used on many pages online. It's a clientside scripting language which allows website developers to do things such as resize windows, send the user alerts/prompts etc. etc. Javascript is used on the reply page - in the emoticons - hover over and you'll see in the statusbar something like javascript
oid(0); or Run script: "void(0);"
I decided to conduct a javascript speed test on Firefox 3 and Safari 4 on Mac OSX (10.5.3 9D34).. and it turns out Safari 4 is ahead...
[table][tr][td]Browser[/td][td]Speed (ms)[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Firefox 3[/td][td]671[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Safari 4[/td][td]191[/td][/tr][/table]
(The test)
Please note if you are to try these tests, the results may vary due to different processor speeds and so fourth, and also please note that the Safari result on the page is that of Safari 3, not 4.
