Coding standards

Follow JavaScript coding standards

Also:

• I prefer single-quotes to double-quotes.
• I prefer the jQuery short-hand $(function () {...}); to $(document).ready(function () {...});.

Wrap $ and global variables

If you want to use jQuery’s $ variable, wrap your code like this:

(function ($) {

  // code using $ variable

})(jQuery);

If you want to use global variables within the scope of your code, wrap your code like this:

(function () {

  var foo = 'bar'; // yay, it's almost like I'm global

})();

If you want to use global variables in the global scope, put the variable in the AjaxSolr namespace:

AjaxSolr.foo = 'bar';

Avoid Internet Explorer errors

• Use an object if you need an associative array, not an array. [source]
• Declare all local variables with var before they are used.
• Remove trailing commas from array and object definitions, i.e.:
  var object = { foo: 'bar' } not var object = { foo: 'bar', }
