Yup, Ricardo's got it. In Javascript, everything runs in as it's
called, and will not continue to the next action until the current one
is complete. So if you have something like:
var num = 0;
for (var i =0; i< 10000; ++i){
num += i;
}
alert(num);
Num will properly display whatever the value of that works out to be.
Also, your browser will hang for a while as it does the calculations.
The only time this doesn't hold true, where processing is done outside
the standard flow, is in a "thread" created by a setTimeout/
setInterval.
