Creating Fractals with Web Workers
A Web Worker makes it possible to run Javascript code without blocking the user interface. That is, computations can be made in the background without locking the user interface.
A Web Worker is created as follows
// Main script
var worker = new WebWorder( url );
where url must point to a Javascript file. The script is started immediately. This article describes the ‘standard’ Web Worker, not the ‘shared’ Web Worker.
