Is there any way to disable the bogus JavaScript warning "A dot following a number can be confused with a decimal point"?

Code:

var dialog = new YAHOO.widget.SimpleDialog("internalError", { ****     effect: {effect:YAHOO.widget.ContainerEffect.FADE, duration: 0.25},          fixedcenter:true,          modal:true,          draggable:false       });

(The flagged line is marked with ****).

Version: 5.1.0 GA
Build id: 20061111-5.1.0-GA

Thanks.

MrFeinberg,
I believe it just wants you to quote the value, that will make it happy.

Why would I want to quote a numeric literal? The ECMAScript spec says that an object literal is

Code:

ObjectLiteral :     {}     { PropertyNameAndValueList } PropertyNameAndValueList :     PropertyName : AssignmentExpression     PropertyNameAndValueList , PropertyName : AssignmentExpression PropertyName :     Identifier     StringLiteral     NumericLiteral AssignmentExpression :     ConditionalExpression     LeftHandSideExpression AssignmentOperator AssignmentExpression

And ConditionalExpression ultimately bottoms out in

Code:

PrimaryExpression :     this     Identifier     Literal     ArrayLiteral     ObjectLiteral     ( Expression )

where Literal includes numeric literals. So, seeing as my syntax is good, why would I want to use the wrong type? I believe this is a bug in the validator, plain and simple.

My appologies, I agree it looks to be a bug, I was trying to find a quick workaround for you.

Yet here we are in version 5.5.1 and we still have this stupid warning, yet the validator still can't identify an extraneous comma that makes IE collapse in a heap. It makes me wonder if we are in 2007 or 1977.
