why bad? actually anonymous functions and closures are the definit advantag=
es
that javascript offers to a developer. in my point of view it
(javascript) would be
a boring, dull language without this constructs.

alog is not available in any browser? why ?

maybe this is the fear bound? a whole lot of users would prefer never to
open settings dialogs, are afraid to "setup something accidentally".
panic bound would be a better term for this. one could imagine some api
that allows setting some configuration option "on click" or something,
but this would/could result in horror:)
