Name
arguments — NN 3 IE J2 ECMA 1
Synopsis
Read-only
Returns an array of values passed as arguments to the function. The
content of the array is independent of the parameter variables
defined for the function. Therefore, if the function defines two
parameter variables but the calling statement passes 10 parameters,
the arguments
array captures all 10 values in the
order in which they were passed. Statements inside the function may
then examine the length of the arguments array and extract values as
needed. This allows one function to handle an indeterminate number of
parameters if the need arises.
Example
function myFunc() for (var i = 0; i < myFunc.arguments.length; i++) { ... } }
Value
Array of values of any JavaScript data type.
