JavaScript gotcha
A recent (humbling) discovery: you need to explicitly define looping variables in functions called recursively. So, in the following pseudo-code, the "var" was left out and a single "index" variable will exist across all calls (probably screwing up your intended results):
function recurse(collection)
{
// Ouch! Forgot the var.
for (index = 0; index < collection.length; ++index)
{
recurse(collection.children);
}
}
I hate that I still have scoping issues with JavaScript. Curses.
