[dash-dev] added new functions to JS global....

[Paul Colton <paul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Monkeys,

I'm making another checkin this morning. It shows how to extend the _javascript_ global object to place some common JS functions onto global, for example, alert(), prompt(), etc. I've also added console logging to JS, both 'out' and 'err'. Here's a list of what I am adding:

"alert" - alert dialog

"confirm" - shows text with OK and Cancel

"prompt" - displays text with an input field

"execute" - allows the execution of arbitrary apps

"getProperty" - get system properties

"parseXML" - parse an xml string and return a Document object

"runOnUIThread" - runs a function on the UI thread

"setTimeout" - see sample

"clearTimeout" - clears the timeout set by setTimeout

out - console out

err - Java error console

Here's an example of setTimeout():

/*

 * Menu: Timeout Test

function main()

{

setTimeout(tester, 2000);

}

function tester()

{

alert("Time!");

}
