I thought that this was understood. Crockford offers plenty of reasons in his book. To summarize, == uses implicit type coercion. It says that you don't care or that you don't know what something is. I've never seen case where an explicit check is not possible, and does not help make code clearer. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
