function(){
var cNode = create('<div>');
var lNode = create('<ul>');
var fNode = create('<footer>');
}
function(){var a=create('<div>');var b=create('<ul>');var c=create('<footer>')}
works fine, but lint will complain about combining your vars.
for a function with no parameters, i guess you could do this...
function($cNode,$lNode,$fNode){
$cNode = create('<div>');
$lNode = create('<ul>');
$fNode = create('<footer>');
}
function(a,b,c){a=create('<div>');b=create('<ul>');c=create('<footer>')}
Now you have shrunk variables and lint is happy!
