You get the award for "worst snippet of the week". No contest.
Client-sniffing, language attribute, and - naturally - scripting in
'string language' with the help of our old *friend* eval().

How about something exotic like...

document.getEle mentById('badcu stomers').check ed

....or

document.forms[0].elements.badcu stomers.checked
....for better support. Almost 2005 now. Merry Xmas. ;)

However, he did indent the code, which makes the intended logical
structure much more apparent to readers (although using units of two
spaces is, for me at least, preferable); and he did not double-space or
mis-wrap it.

There's an implied <FAQENTRY> there, for 2.3 paragraphs 4 & 6.

Possible FAQ Question 4.0 - "How should javascript be written" - answer
to include indent & paragraph, spaces, line-length for News, and probably
a link to FAQ notes. Praise plaintext editing, validators, etc., and
knock inferior composing packages, if those can be done briefly.

It's FA, even if not a FQ !

The "can not" in the FAQ (4.33) should, as everywhere else, be "cannot".
