This is already fixed. |
I sometimes write for-loops that do not have a block, but are just used for moving an index forward or searching through a chain. For example: var container = field.parentNode; for (;container && container.className!='container'; container = container.parentNode); // now do something with "container" Netbeans incorrectly flags the semi-colon on the for-loop and reports that the code has no side effects, event though it does have the intended of setting the variable "container".
