Re: [Dynapi-Help] Why are there no semicolons?!?!

[Joachim L. <lu...@ho...>]

On a side-note, ECMA-script revision 4 (JavaScript 2.0 and JScript.net)
will be able to run in a strict mode which requires the semi-colons.

Even though they aren't required for the intended target JavaScript
engines, I personally think the semi-colons should be there anyway.
