JavaScript: multithreaded or re-entrant?

Hi All,

I am not talking about Rhino here, just ECMAScript. :)

I have noticed that if I attach an event handler to a text field and
that event handler takes a long time to complete, I can trigger
multiple concurrent executions.

Does this make JavaScript multithreaded or re-entrant?

Next, please excuse my ignorance, but what does re-entrant mean in
JavaScript? (If it is relevant at all..).

I am no expert on this, but found this article on Wikipedia:-
