Learning JS Web Workers

A simple example to test the Web Workers separation to the main browser window thread.

Usage

The JS Web Workers requires to run with a domain or in a http-server, thus this will not work in a file://.
Open the index.html file in your preferred browser and you can now check how JS Web Workers separated from the main thread by click the buttons.
You might wonder why the UI doesn't change and the worker seems like blocked by the main thread when you start the block thread and prompting an alert().
I added a console.log() inside the worker.js, this can be use to verify the process of the worker is actually done in the background and not blocked by the main thread.
To check this you need to open your browser developer console tab.

Web Workers can't access DOM elements from the web page.
Web Workers can't access global variables and JavaScript functions from the web page.
Web Workers can't call alert() or confirm() functions.
Objects such as window, document and parent can't be accessed inside the web worker.
