The main reason I'm writing is to report the
result of an on-line tool that checks javascript,
when asked to check the "discussion" plugin's file
named "script.js.


The output follows below....

Like a lot of such tools, this one seems to be a purist. It seems to want brackets after the if statements: 
if(x) {
   blah_blah;
}
In fact, Flanagan, in section 6.3 of Javascript The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly), defines the if statement without brackets: 
    if(expression)
        statement
Judging from this lint's output there's nothing wrong with the script. The discussion plugin, which I use, works without error.
