OK, so if there's such a thing as the ProgClub standard JavaScript format I'd better explain what that is... this page remains a work in progress.

Always use curly brackets even when not required:

if ( true ) { return foo(); }

// not:

if ( true ) return foo();

All on one line if only one short statement:

if ( true ) { return false; }

// not:

if ( true ) {

  return false;

}

Multiple lines if an if-block is followed by else/else-if:

if ( true ) {

  return false;

}
else {

  return true;

}

// not:

if ( true ) { return false; }
else { return true; }

Open curly bracket on same line, close curly bracket on new line:

function test() {

  return true;

}

Always use a semicolon if you can!

Try to keep line-length less than 78 characters (not a hard rule).
