ECMAScript v1; deprecated by ECMAScript v3
Synopsis
function.arguments[i]function.arguments.length
Description
The arguments property of a Function object is an
array of the arguments that are passed to a function. It is only
defined while the function is executing.
arguments.length specifies the number of elements
in the array.
This property is deprecated in favor of the Arguments object.
Although ECMAScript v1 supports the
Function.arguments property, it has been removed
from ECMAScript v3 and conforming implementations may no longer
support this property. Therefore, it should never be used in new
JavaScript 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.
