You are one of the double posters to me. Not sure why though as you only
post to one not both

That's a very good example of what I don't like about JavaScript
especially when applied to the DOM.

which pairs with "When writing code, we should strive to write code that
is clear and easy to understand".
OK, well I'm trying for the third or fourth time to really get my head
around javascript - I pick up a 'grade II' book: example 1 reads fine;
example 2 I'm almost totally lost, even though I know exactly what it's
supposed to do - so it's back to js101 and '...the best bits' - again!
A few comments in the examples might have lifted me over the second
fence!
fwiw here is my pons asinorum:
(function() {
var results;
this.assert = function assert(value, desc) {
var li = document.createElement("li");
li.className = value ? "pass" : "fail";
li.appendChild(document.createTextNode(desc));
results.appendChild(li);
if (!value) {
li.parentNode.parentNode.className = "fail";
}
return li;
};
this.test = function test(name, fn) {
results = document.getElementById("results");
results = assert(true, name).appendChild(
document.createElement("ul"));
fn();
};
})();
