Re: [TxMt] JavaScript Bundle & Symbol Greediness

Hi,

At some point in the last month something major changed with the JavaScript bundle. In particular, so many symbols are now added to the symbol list that it is basically unusable. I can't say exactly when this change occurred, but I would assume that others have noticed as well.

As an example, have a look at the following lines of (contrived) code:

      var i = document.createElement('input');
      i.type = 'checkbox';
      i.name = 'foo';
      i.value = 'bar';
      i.checked = false;

I would not expect this to add any symbols to the symbol list. But in fact, this block of code adds the following four symbols:

type name value checked

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks, Taylor

The javascript language is pretty goofed up. I had been working on the prototype version. I looks like something from there got merged into javascript but messed up somehow.

I'll be fixing it eventually. sorry for the trouble
