模块模式

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {

function init() {
  // ...
}

window.onload = init;
})();
</script>

没有使用var语句或在函数外部声明的变量和函数将在全局作用域中定义。如果一个同名的变量/函数已经存在，它将被无声地覆盖，这可能导致很难发现错误。一种常见的解决方案是将整个代码体封装到一个匿名函数中并立即执行它。这样，所有变量/函数都定义在匿名函数的作用域中，不会泄漏到全局作用域中。

要显式地在全局作用域定义一个变量/函数，它们必须以window为前缀:

window.GLOBAL_VAR = 12;
window.global_function = function() {};

函数语句和函数表达式的处理方式不同。

function blarg(a) {return a;} // statement
bleep = function(b) {return b;} //expression

所有函数语句在代码运行之前都会被解析——JavaScript文件底部的函数将在第一个语句中可用。另一方面，它将无法利用某些动态上下文，例如围绕语句—在解析函数时，with还没有执行。

函数表达式在遇到它们的地方内联执行。在此之前它们是不可用的，但它们可以利用动态上下文。

Function.toString()(隐性):

function x() {
    alert("Hello World");
}
eval ("x = " + (x + "").replace(
    'Hello World',
    'STACK OVERFLOW BWAHAHA"); x("'));
x();

JavaScript没有块作用域(但它有闭包，所以让我们称它为偶数?)

var x = 1;
{
   var x = 2;
}
alert(x); // outputs 2

下面是一些有趣的事情:

Comparing NaN with anything (even NaN) is always false, that includes ==, < and >. NaN Stands for Not a Number but if you ask for the type it actually returns a number. Array.sort can take a comparator function and is called by a quicksort-like driver (depends on implementation). Regular expression "constants" can maintain state, like the last thing they matched. Some versions of JavaScript allow you to access $0, $1, $2 members on a regex. null is unlike anything else. It is neither an object, a boolean, a number, a string, nor undefined. It's a bit like an "alternate" undefined. (Note: typeof null == "object") In the outermost context, this yields the otherwise unnameable [Global] object. Declaring a variable with var, instead of just relying on automatic declaration of the variable gives the runtime a real chance of optimizing access to that variable The with construct will destroy such optimzations Variable names can contain Unicode characters. JavaScript regular expressions are not actually regular. They are based on Perl's regexs, and it is possible to construct expressions with lookaheads that take a very, very long time to evaluate. Blocks can be labeled and used as the targets of break. Loops can be labeled and used as the target of continue. Arrays are not sparse. Setting the 1000th element of an otherwise empty array should fill it with undefined. (depends on implementation) if (new Boolean(false)) {...} will execute the {...} block Javascript's regular expression engine's are implementation specific: e.g. it is possible to write "non-portable" regular expressions.

与。

它很少被使用，坦率地说，很少有用……但是，在有限的情况下，它确实有它的用途。

例如:对象字面量对于快速在新对象上设置属性非常方便。但是，如果需要更改现有对象的一半属性，该怎么办呢?

var user = 
{
   fname: 'Rocket', 
   mname: 'Aloysus',
   lname: 'Squirrel', 
   city: 'Fresno', 
   state: 'California'
};

// ...

with (user)
{
   mname = 'J';
   city = 'Frostbite Falls';
   state = 'Minnesota';
}

Alan Storm指出，这可能有点危险:如果用作上下文的对象没有被赋值的属性之一，它将在外部作用域被解析，可能会创建或覆盖一个全局变量。如果你习惯了用默认值或空值未定义的对象编写代码，这是特别危险的:

var user = 
{
   fname: "John",
// mname definition skipped - no middle name
   lname: "Doe"
};

with (user)
{
   mname = "Q"; // creates / modifies global variable "mname"
}

因此，避免使用with语句进行这种赋值可能是一个好主意。
