也许对某些人来说有点明显…

安装Firebug并使用console.log("hello")。这比使用随机alert();好多了，我记得几年前我经常这样做。

我最喜欢的技巧是使用apply对对象的方法执行回调，并维护正确的“this”变量。

function MakeCallback(obj, method) {
    return function() {
        method.apply(obj, arguments);
    };
}

var SomeClass = function() { 
     this.a = 1;
};
SomeClass.prototype.addXToA = function(x) {
     this.a = this.a + x;
};

var myObj = new SomeClass();

brokenCallback = myObj.addXToA;
brokenCallback(1); // Won't work, wrong "this" variable
alert(myObj.a); // 1


var myCallback = MakeCallback(myObj, myObj.addXToA);
myCallback(1);  // Works as expected because of apply
alert(myObj.a); // 2

正如Marius已经指出的，可以在函数中使用公共静态变量。

我通常使用它们来创建只执行一次的函数，或者缓存一些复杂的计算结果。

下面是我以前的“单例”方法的例子:

var singleton = function(){ 

  if (typeof arguments.callee.__instance__ == 'undefined') { 

    arguments.callee.__instance__ = new function(){

      //this creates a random private variable.
      //this could be a complicated calculation or DOM traversing that takes long
      //or anything that needs to be "cached"
      var rnd = Math.random();

      //just a "public" function showing the private variable value
      this.smth = function(){ alert('it is an object with a rand num=' + rnd); };

   };

  }

  return arguments.callee.__instance__;

};


var a = new singleton;
var b = new singleton;

a.smth(); 
b.smth();

如您所见，在这两种情况下构造函数都只运行一次。

For example, I used this approach back in 2004 when I had to create a modal dialog box with a gray background that covered the whole page (something like Lightbox). Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6 have the highest stacking context for <select> or <iframe> elements due to their "windowed" nature; so if the page contained select elements, the only way to cover them was to create an iframe and position it "on top" of the page. So the whole script was quite complex and a little bit slow (it used filter: expressions to set opacity for the covering iframe). The "shim" script had only one ".show()" method, which created the shim only once and cached it in the static variable :)

数字也是对象。所以你可以做一些很酷的事情，比如:

// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"

// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
  if(typeof funct === 'function') {
    for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
      funct(i);
    }
  }
  return this;
}


(5).times(function(i){
  string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "

var x = 1000;

x.times(function(i){
  document.body.innerHTML += '<p>paragraph #'+i+'</p>';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document

在Crockford的《Javascript: The Good Parts》中也提到过:

parseInt()是危险的。如果你给它一个字符串而不告诉它正确的进制，它可能会返回意想不到的数字。例如，parseInt('010')返回8，而不是10。传递一个base给parseInt可以使它正确工作:

parseInt('010') // returns 8! (in FF3)
parseInt('010', 10); // returns 10 because we've informed it which base to work with.

当使用console.log()用于Firebug时，防止在Internet Explorer中测试时出现恼人的错误:

function log(message) {
    (console || { log: function(s) { alert(s); }).log(message);
}
