As always: this doesn’t make an awful lot of difference with 1 example but across a page with numerous scripts & other things, it should be avoided, like for … in loops, etc. Don’t forget: we don’t all use Chrome, Firefox 3 & Safari 3.

Thanks for making me aware of it!

var str = “This is a long(8 spaces)string. That’s why we want to(8 spaces)split it over several lines”;

var str = “This is a long string. That’s why we want to split it over several lines”;

which isn’t whats desired, right?

the slower and more memory intensive part, however, would be measured in bytes (10′s of) and maybe milliseconds – hardly enough to mess up your code’s readability for…!?
