Another question about John Resig's book, "Pro
JavaScript Techniques" (C) 2006.

On page 210, the following JavaScript code is
seen:

   for (i = 0; i < elem.length; i++) new function() {

          /* code snipped here */
   }

I don't think I've ever seen a "new function()" statement
used right after a "for" statement.  Is this valid code that
is used for a certain purpose?  Or am I looking at
another possible typo in the book?

Robert
