NEVER specify the language attribute. Since each browsers support varies, it is totally useless. 2.) why create a function to create a global variable... just do foo = 'this works'; or window.foo = 'this works too'; 3.) passing additional parameters to .setTimeout() and .setInterval() actually works just fine in all modern browsers, but since IE is stuck in the dark ages, you can't us them on a site that must support IE.

This is called semi-colon insertion - and it can cause trouble sometimes. Nice post, by the way.
