Why do I keep getting this error?

I should be able to use this global function right?

I'm using chrome.

I'm using https://code.google.com/p/bitjs/ and it begins with

importScripts('io.js');
importScripts('archive.js');

Answer 1

This code needs to be inside a worker script. The worker itself is created via a new Worker object - see Getting Started in the tutorial.

The code you've linked is inside the worker created here.
