Since you are using the latest version of Mathematica, you should also use the latest version of SpiderMonkey. The function works outside of a web browser with jslibs, and it works in Firefox 3.0.1. <html> <body> <script type="application/javascript;version=1.8"/> // Tested with Firefox 3.0.1. // SpiderMonkey JavaScript 1.6 added map(). // 1.8 added reduce() and function shorthand: // function(x) { return x * x } // can now be: // function(x) x * x // Javascript. By William James function normalize( vec ) { var div=Math.sqrt(vec.map(function(x) x*x).reduce(function(a,b) a+b)) return vec.map(function(x) x/div) } window.alert( normalize( [2,3,4] ).toSource() ) </script> </body> </html> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
