Going Postel. Jeremy points out that one of the many disadvantages of publishing JavaScript dependent content on the Web is that a single typo can render your entire site unusable.

  1. That is very true. A slightest mistake in the spelling of command words or even in the syntax of the code could kill the entire Java Script code module into mere useless. And the worst part is that debugging the typos out of the code in Mobile Analytics is a real pain. So generally if any typo is present in JavaScript, programmers usually rewrite the script from the beginning rather than swiveling around to clear of the typo.
