(and reading other scripting topics, such mistakes happen all the time)...
I agree it can be harder to read if you omit the braces, but what I meant was, for example, the difference between these two code blocks:
Javascript code:
if(functionA()) {
if(functionB()) {
// do something
}
else {
// handle error b
}
}
else {
// handle error a
}
// ==========
if(!functionA()) {
// handle error a
return;
}
if(!functionB()) {
// handle error b
return;
}
// do something
It keeps everything together nicely imo, with the error handling right next to the error. Obviously it might not always be applicable, and everything is open to argument
