ECMAScript is not a brower Script.

In addition:The try\catch()\finally algo is still, not a part of ECMA.

(Although the "try" keyword was listed as reserved in ECMA to)

False... 

Every object is not a function and not all (buillt in) functions may be

objects. 

 

Paracoxically, event the Object object, is a pure function! Or may I

say: a Function function or a function Object, or...

 

alert(Object);

 

.::the alert content::.

function Object() {

   [native code]

}

 

As you can see, Objects are functions itself.

Even the Function is a function.

 

alert(Function);

 

will result in:

 function Function(){[native code]}

(are we entering into some kind of a "name:notion" loop?)

 

"Math" is an object, .max(); .min() is not! These are functions:

 

alert(Math.max);

alert(Math.min);//etc...

 

The "document.getElementById()" is most probably considered everything

else but function. Well, function it is.

 

alert(document.getElementById)

 

.
