What JavaScript function allows you to delay the execution of a function until a certain number of milliseconds has passed? Set time out. Who first proposed the idea of using separate style sheet language for the web and when? Huycon Woom Lee in 1994 while he was working at CERN with Tim Berners-Lee. Brendan Eich in 1995 when he was developing JavaScript or John Resig in 2006 during his work on the jQuery library.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott try to stump each other with questions about JavaScript, HTTP status error codes, memory safety, and a bit of web history thrown in.
