Coding Tricks

Basically:

if (statement)
{
	/**
	 * multiline comment
	 */
	
	
	// single line comment
	
	
	// this looks fine at times
	var a;
	
	
	// sometimes i'm incredibly annoyed at seeing the one above and i have an extra line after the comment
	
	var a;
	
	
	// i absolutely hate finding out about invisible whitespace, like:
	if (statement)     
	{      
		// hi
	}
	
	
	// sometimes i'm fine with writing function names that way
	function_name(test, test, test);
	
	
	// i'm beginning to shift towards javascript's style, but it looks out of place in php D:
	functionName(test, test, test);
}

If in JavaScript I'm wrapping something in little significance:

function($) {

// must be empty lines surrounding the code
// no tabbing for root level code

}(jQuery);

When writing functions in JavaScript objects, I cannot stand having the { on a separate line, and there must be a space between the statement brackets and the {

{
	varone: 'hi',
	vartwo: function() {
		// hi
	}
}

In jQuery:

var a = $("#selector"); // selectors must be enclosed with "
var b = $('<div></div>').appendTo("#selector"); // html must be enclosed with '

[QUOTE=r0b0tsquid;20587945]I NEED to have spaces next to all of my operators, except for concatenator and exponent.
Like this:

a = b + c

-- but

a = b^c

-- and

a = b..c

I don't know why.[/QUOTE]

Interesting. What about unary operators? I think they look weird with a space.

[r0b0tsquid]

Then I have no space on the associative side, but a space on the other. Like this:

num = #table

Except in the case of "not", where I have a space on each side:

bool = false
if not bool then
    --stuff here
end

That's another of my tics: I always make sure my comments are indented properly, even though they don't actually do anything.
