Edit Question
Title
Body
Today I had a discussion with a colleague about nested functions in Javascript: function a() { function b() { alert('boo') } var c = 'Bound to local call object.' d = 'Bound to global object.' } In this example, trials point out that b is not reachable outside the body of a, much like c is. However, d is - after executing a(). Looking for the exact definition of this behaviour in the ECMAScript v.3 standard , I didn't find the exact wording I was looking for; what Sec.13 p.71 does not say, is which object the function object created by the function declaration statement is to be bound to. Am I missing something?
