Programming Tips and Gotchas

• This property is implemented as a function in the JScript scripting engine.

• If your script requires some functionality available in a baseline version, ordinarily you want to make sure that the script is running on that version or a later version. You do not want to test for equality, since that may leave your code unable to run on later versions of the language engine.
