The gotchas are fine, but the explanations are very poor. I'd like justifications or references.

I would prefer Ben Alman, Douglas Crockford, John Resig, Paul Irish, or one of the many talented people writing about javascript if you were actually interested in understanding the gotcha's on this list.

Also, I wish authors would be careful to distinguish js from jQuery. Yes it's standard now, but preferences change with time.



I tried not to get too deep into the explanations because I really, really wanted to keep this to a short list that could be scanned and grokked.

Truth be told, if someone wants an explanation of some of JS's weirdness, there are far better articles out there they can Google to meet that need. :)
