IE 7.0

Does anybody have a good idea of how useful Javascript will be in IE
7?

Well if Microsoft was smart (which some will debate you on) they would
embrace the JavaScript because it isn't going to go away anytime soon.
AJAX is the rage right now and sites like Google rely on this
technology being around to implement their projects. I am quite
confident in saying that JavaScript will still be essential in IE 7.

From what I understand, people who I have seen beta testing IE 7 surf

the current web (which has JavaScript) with little or no troubles. I
just don't see Microsoft wanting to cut the strings to it yet.

We shall see. :)

ECMAScript Language Ed 3. is already fully supported (expect for a few
bugs here and there) in JScript and hence IE, why would MS change that?

Most of the standards focus for IE 7 has been on support for the W3C CSS
2 (and security), hence changes to the IE DOM appear to realted to CSS
rather than full compliance with the W3C DOM, e.g.:

"For the SELECT few..."

There's an IE wiki here:

Post a question, see what happens...

Take a look at the March IE Chat transcript:-

Basically, no change to JavaScript.
