jslint

I have the following code: if (typeof console === "object" && typeof console.error === "function") { function e(msg) {"use strict"; console.info(msg);} } For which jsLint gives the following error: Function statements should not be placed in blocks. Use a function expression or move the statement to the top of the outer function. Why is it giving this error and what does it mean? You should not be creating function inside if block. You are much better off doing: var e = function(){}; if(typeof console === "object" && typeof console.error === "function"){ e = function (msg){ ... }; } KyleMit

In my project we have some global variables that work as containers: MyProject.MyFreature.someFunction = function() { ... } So then I use that script across the site and JSLint / JSHint complains about that: 'MyProject' is not defined I know that I can go to every JavaScript file and add the comment /*global MyProject*/ on top of it. But I'm looking a way to define that comment in some sort of config file so I don't have to go file by file adding this comment. Some kind on option in the config/jshint.yml would be nice. For JSHint you can create .jshintrc to your project directory with {

Can anyone point to a functioning JSLint plug-in for Eclipse? Martin There is a plugin here and it works ok. (site is down sometime in 2011) The update site is http://update.rockstarapps.com/site.xml (site down 2012-07-24) You can also run jslint4java as an external tool: Download jslint4java Put jslint4java.jar somewhere Add an external tool configuration in Eclipse (Run > External Tools > External Tools Configurations > Program > New...): Location: /usr/bin/java (or your path to javaw.exe) Arguments: -jar /path/to/jslint4java.jar ${resource_loc} Now you can select a js file in the Project

This question already has an answer here: Why avoid increment (“++”) and decrement (“--”) operators in JavaScript? 17 answers What is the best practice for that then? Jslint explains that it "adds confusion". I don't see it really... EDIT: The code, as requested: var all,l,elements,e; all = inElement.getElementsByTagName('*'); l = all.length; elements = []; for (e = 0; e < l; (e++)) { if (findIn) { if (all[e].className.indexOf(className) > 0) { elements[elements.length] = all[e]; } } else { if (all[e].className === className) { elements[elements.length] = all[e]; } } } unomi Use i += 1 instead
