  1. POIs this proper JavaScript syntax?
    text
    copied!<p>Good Saturday morning to the most helpful online community on the web! =)</p> <p>I have a few hundred lines of JavaScript that I'd like to reformat to make it easier for me to read. I thought before I went wasting half of my day, I'd ask my question here first.</p> <p>I am new to JavaScript and would like to know if my syntax below is correct?</p> <p>My original code is this:</p> <pre><code>function formfocus() { if(document.getElementById('inputida')) { document.getElementById('inputida').focus(); document.getElementById('inputida').value = ''; } else if(document.getElementById('inputidb')) { document.getElementById('inputidb').focus(); document.getElementById('inputidb').value = ''; } } function popitup(url, name, width, height) { newwindow = window.open(url, name, 'width=' + width + ',height=' + height + ',scrollbars=yes'); if(window.focus) { newwindow.focus(); } return false; } </code></pre> <p>... And I want to change the code into this (note the spacing):</p> <pre><code>function formfocus() { if ( document.getElementById( 'inputida' ) ) { document.getElementById( 'inputida' ).focus(); document.getElementById( 'inputida' ).value = ''; } else if ( document.getElementById( 'inputidb' ) ) { document.getElementById( 'inputidb' ).focus(); document.getElementById( 'inputidb' ).value = ''; } } function popitup( url, name, width, height ) { newwindow = window.open( url, name, 'width=' + width + ', height=' + height + ', scrollbars=yes' ); if ( window.focus ) { newwindow.focus(); } return false; } </code></pre> <p>The differences being:</p> <ol> <li>spacing just after the <code>'if'</code> and <code>'else if'</code> statements</li> <li>spacing around the <code>parentheses</code></li> <li>a line-feed before the opening <code>curly braces</code></li> </ol>
