The documentation suggests that this should work: /*jslint newcap: true */ or /*jslint newcap: false */ However, JSLint itself complains about this being a...
Maybe I am a bit out of topic, but the subject is the foundation of JSlint. :) Reading "Top Down Operator Precedence" paper [1] and trying to use his ...
When JSLint encounters a serious error, it stops. Is it possible to program in a error handling statement that breaks out of that block, outputs that lines x-y...
Hi, JSLint forbids the following form: var a = var b = foo(); // Expected an identifier and instead saw 'var'. Is this intentional? It can occasionally be...

Hi, With 'assume browser' turned on, JSLint rejects the following: if (n instanceof Document) { // 'Document' is undefined // ... } Shouldn't the DOM classes...
I believe the var declaration is not legal as the right side of a statement; it would require 'var b' to return a value, which it does not. Try: var a, b; a =...
... Uhh... sorry. It is of course a syntax error. Chalk that one up to temporary insanity on my part. I was thinking of another language where "var b" is an...

I made two changes to the way JSLint deals with HTML: 1. <!-- --> comments have been relaxed to allow the commenting out of HTML content. JSLint will complain...
What about "let" keyword? https://developer.mozilla.org/en/New_in_JavaScript_1.7 For instance, for (let i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1) { // loop stuff with local...
... Of course not. let is not in the standard, and will not be in the next edition. If you care about standards compliance and portability, you will avoid it....

Hi, I just checked the following small line of code with jslint: document.write('hello'); And I got this error : "document.write can be a form of eval." I...
