JavaScript multithreading

Question

I\'m working on comparison for several different methods of implementing (real or fake) multithreading in JavaScript. As far as I know only webworkers and Google Gears Worke

Answer 1

There is no direct support for multithreading in JavaScript. However you can achieve this by applying some ideas and method.

There are methods like:

var id = window.timeout("javascript code", time);

here the JavaScript code is called after the specifed time and we can use

window.clearTimeout(id);

for clearing. By this we can achieve fake concurrency.
