Key Points

Semicolons to end statements are optional in JavaScript, but for clarity you are advised to always use them.

JavaScript ignores extra white space. Use white space to make your scripts more readable.

Note:

The following statements are the same.

              var receiptDate=NSOA.form.getValue('date');
var receiptDate = NSOA.form.getValue('date');

JavaScript is case sensitive.

Important:

The following variables are NOT the same!

              var receiptDate;
var ReceiptDate;
