This article is taken from JavaScript @ Wikibooks. JavaScript is a loosely typed language, this means that you don’t have to worry about setting the type of variable and you can change at will in runtime. But when you code, you have to make sure that you are getting the right type at the right time. Variable declaration Variables are commonly explicitly declared the var statement, as shown below: var c; .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; } The above variable is created, but has the default value of undefined. To be of value, the variable needs to be initialized: var c = 0; Variables can also be created by assigning directly to them,...

As I wrote in the following much commented post when the Q1 2009 beta was released - RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX did receive a major face-lift!   Despite the major improvements in a number of important areas, this change has caused turmoil as well (somewhat regrettably for both sides - customers and Telerik developers - involved). After the release, two major requests came from customers: 1) to help them keep an "old-style" skin in their applications as they liked it more than the new version, as well as 2) help them update their existing custom skins. I spent the last couple of days implementing...
