With JScript however, as JScript was implemented after JavaScript,

between the language ("JScript Reference") and the DOM API ("HTML and
DHTML Reference").

Other words you Matrix is a collection of the earliest usages of certain
keywords such as "setTimeout", "alert", "window" etc. you could fine in
official JavaScript/JScript documentation archives of some noticeable
browser producers. Got it. It is an interesting linguistical source then
that may come useful someday for historians.

No, it is useful for everyday programming as new *language features*
are still coming up and you want to know if it is feasible to use them.

I am puzzled though why then you keep referring it recently here as some
practical coding helper or some compatibility issues helper? What does
the first have to do with the second?

I am not surprised your puny mind cannot comprehend that.

If you can point me to an Eric Lippert statement saying that it was
different before, so much the better.

Different what?

That some features now considered part of the MSHTML DOM API have been part
of JScript before.

You need a reputable prove that windows.setTimeout is available since
IE3.0 and till now?

No, I am talking about the *programming language*, JScript.

Or that window.setTimeout was used in JScript references for IE3?

Something like that.
