Until it is supported by browsers with a total marketshare of say 50%, it might as well not exist, so many thanks to the author and to the posters who shared some interesting approaches to getting the functionality of constants in a language that doesn't support them.

It almost gets to the point that a writer needs to write 500 words of caveats and legal mumbo jumbo before posting. Hahah.. Thanks for the great article. It was quick and cocise. Exactly what I needed when I am frantically looking to finish a project and I want the next best thing to contants. (pseudo-comments) Much thanks.
