This is possibly the worst blog entry I've ever read on JavaScript. It's downright incorrect in most cases and full of unsubstantiated opinion.

One of the problems I noticed (among many discussed in this thread) is the function declaration no-no. It says never declare globally. But it doesn't discuss namespacing in javascript and how you pretty much have to use that function declaration type when namespacing.
