Description Robin CLA 2009-03-11 05:02:24 EDT 
function fromCharCode(charCode) {
	return String.fromCharCode(charCode); // Error marker
}

results in 'Cannot make a static reference to the non-static function fromCharCode(any) from the type String'

Hi Robin,

I can't reproduce this problem in 3.0.4 or 3.1 with the code snippet you provided.

Was there anything else in the file? Were there other JS files in the project?

Were you using the JS editor or were you inside an html/jsp page?
Comment 2 Robin CLA 2009-03-12 14:43:35 EDT 
I found out what is causing the error.

It's caused by including the IE Support Library. Probably conflicting with JavaScript Language (ECMA-262) Library

That saying I think that
String.prototype.fromCharCode=function(args){}; //IE

is declared wrong,
it should be:

String.fromCharCode=function(chars){}; //ECMA

Should be fixed in 3.0.4 and 3.1.

Thanks for pointing me to the problem with the library file Robin.
