What about the ES Matrix? Since I have updated it with the results of my thesis this June, so that it now includes a submit button, I have been thankfully receiving quite a lot of feedback (*effective* submissions – duplicates are automatically prevented: 81 different environments, 66'392 test results for 278 features), and I am planning to integrate that in due course. You are welcome to push that button in all browsers you can get your hands on¹, and, like other people, let me know if something is wrong. [Thanks again to Bergi who pointed out via e-mail recently that Opera ECMAScript 12.16 apparently has an implementation bug which causes eval("e") in the ES Matrix version of jsx.tryThis() to evaluate to a reference to the “a” element object with “name”/“id” "e" instead of the “catch” parameter “e”, giving false negatives for exception tests. This will be analyzed and fixed in due course, and duly noted in the Contributors section.] _________ ¹ newer than NN 4.x would be preferable as I have not solved all backwards compatibility issues yet > I am also concerned about the potential influence of competing > personalities.

I think I have already said yes to that: -- PointedEars Twitter: @PointedEars2 Please do not Cc: me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
