Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.

  For when it's not a string e.g. strtoupper(6) :

[CODE="Javascript"]
function strtolower( str ) {
return (str+'').toLowerCase();
}
[/CODE]
