Nice to see you still have all the charm and finesse of a typical
Trump cabinet appointment. :-)

Seriously however, if you object to checking your JavaScript code,
can I assume the following are also true for you:

You don't bother compiling code with warnings turned on.
You don't bother with the safe version of the C++ indexing operator.
You don't bother telling VMS to keep more than one version of a file.
You don't bother doing a /confirm before deleting a file.

Etc...

IOW, I've found running a JavaScript checker against my code to
be very useful and it does seem to be a standard technique if you
are forced to do JavaScript coding.

Simon.
