CRIPTS

Good programming practices should be used when developing scripts for
CETerm. In general, it is important to conserve memory, minimize script
compilations, and limit execution times. Please refer to a JavaScript
programming book for more information.

We recommend “JavaScript: The

Definitive Guide (5th Edition)

” by David Flanagan. The following URL is an

excellent starting point for in-depth details about JavaScript and good
programming practices:

5.9.1 Use Local Variables

Whenever possible, use local variables within functions and declare them with
the var keyword, like this:

var status;
var message = "hello";
var i, j, k;

If you fail to use the var keyword, then JavaScript automatically creates a global
variable with that name if it has not already been declared outside a function.
