body { margin: 0px; }

In IE & Firefox there will be no margin for the page.
In Opera there is still the spacing. Why?

Because Opera has in its default styles, just as the
CSS2 specification suggests (see appendix A)

body { margin: 0px; padding: 8px; }

To have no spacing between page body & borders:

body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }

Old: hasChild = (item.length > 5);
New: hasChild = (item.length && item.length > 5);

Purpose: avoid warning because _cmSplit is parsed as an object and
does not have length property

Updated: JSCookMenu updated to 1.4.4 with a quick fix for a bug
for _cmSplit checking.

<br /> function foo() {<br /> var argv = foo.arguments;<br /> var argc = argv.length;<br /> for (var i = 0; i < argc; i++) { alert("Argument " + i + " = " + argv[i]); } }

Firefox 1.5 returns “Warning: deprecated arguments usage”
Solution: “var argv = arguments;”
Reference:

“The arguments object is a local variable available within all functions; arguments as a property of Function can no longer be used.”
