Question

Does anyone know if its possible to prevent a JavaScript function from accessing the DOM?

More info:

I am trying to create a “Threading” object for JavaScript, e.g. use the Worker object, fall back on setTimeOut when not available. Obviously the worker can’t access the DOM, I would like to keep this standard.

Even more info:

One possible, but ugly possible solution (that I figured out just now):

function test(document, window)
{

}

But Nothing prevents the dev to access the dom from another function he calls within this function though – and you’ll have to list the world of arguments.

Answer 1

No, that’s not really possible in a normal browser environment.

You might be able to replace stuff like document.getElementById before calling the function and restoring it afterwards though… But I’m sure there are ways to get around this.
