嗯，这不是一个很重要的功能，但它非常有用:

显示可选择和格式化的警报:

alert(prompt('',something.innerHTML ));

可以将JavaScript对象绑定为HTML元素属性。

<div id="jsTest">Klick Me</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var someVariable = 'I was klicked';
    var divElement = document.getElementById('jsTest');
    // binding function/object or anything as attribute
    divElement.controller = function() { someVariable += '*'; alert('You can change instance data:\n' + someVariable ); };
    var onclickFunct = new Function( 'this.controller();' ); // Works in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
    divElement.onclick = onclickFunct;
</script>

你可以在任何对象上执行一个对象的方法，不管它是否有这个方法。当然，它可能并不总是有效(如果方法假设对象具有它没有的东西)，但它可能非常有用。例如:

function(){
    arguments.push('foo') // This errors, arguments is not a proper array and has no push method
    Array.prototype.push.apply(arguments, ['foo']) // Works!
}

如果你用逗号分隔语句，你几乎可以在括号之间做任何事情:

var z = ( x = "can you do crazy things with parenthesis", ( y = x.split(" "), [ y[1], y[0] ].concat( y.slice(2) ) ).join(" ") )

alert(x + "\n" + y + "\n" + z)

输出:

can you do crazy things with parenthesis
can,you,do,crazy,things,with,parenthesis
you can do crazy things with parenthesis

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。

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 :)
