"Javascript hijacking"[edit]

I believe "Javascript hijacking" is no longer in use. The standardized term for this exploit is now XSSI (Cross site script inclusion). This is a variation of CSRF that is described so we should probably create an article specifically for XSSI, link to it here and in the CSRF article.

(BTW: XSSI is also a term for extended server-side includes, so YMMV on whether the current terminology is better/worse than Javascript hijacking. In any case we probably should have a separate page for one of the other as the description here is rather spartan.)

Implicit and explicit delegation[edit]

I see that we have a new section called 'Implicit and Explicit Delegation'. I have used JavaScript for some years and I understand barely a word of this new material. I also see that where it is referenced, it cites [a Wordpress blog. If other editors agree that this is valid and WP:DUE article content, can someone also bring all the title capitalisation, word spacing and so on into line with WP:MoS?

More Advanced Example[edit]

ERROR ON LINE 15: Bad invocation.
ERRORS ON LINE 38: Missing semicolon; Expected '}' to match '{' from line 20 and instead saw ':'.; Expected '}' to match '{' from line 18 and instead saw 'function'.; Missing ';' before statement.

ERRORS ON LINE 48: Expected an identifier and instead saw ','; Missing semicolon.
WARNINGS ON LINE 49: Label 'toString' on function statement. Missing name in function declaration.
ERROR ON LINE 52: Expected '(end)' and instead saw '}'.

The three essential technologies[edit]

I see that an IP editor has been edited warring over trying to add PHP as a fourth 'essential technology' of the Web. The problem is that, although they have some usage stats on PHP, they don't have a source for 'the four essential technologies' of the www. It is exactly this kind of synthesis that is forbidden by WP:SYNTH. --Nigelj (talk) 12:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Vendor-specific extensions[edit]

The whole section is kind of weird and is not up to date (it doesn't even reference ECMAScript spec, which introduces some of the items on the list). Either it needs update or removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marinintim (talkcontribs) 16:07, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
