an array containing all arguments passed to the function. The
arguments identifier is essentially a local
variable automatically declared and initialized within every
function. It refers to an Arguments object only within the body of a
function and is undefined in global code.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
