Can I format my JavaScript/JQuery code with linebreaks and tabs?

Question

As a c# coder learning JavaScript I find this alot more readable:

$(this)
  .first()
  .prepend("<h3>Title</h3>")
  .end()
  .removeClass("hidden");

than this:

$(this).first().prepend("<h3>Title</h3>").end().removeClass("hidden");

However JSLint complains about the first one. But I don´t understand why. Will this get me into trouble anywhere?

Update: You can set the value of indentation at the bottom of the jslint page and thereby make your code "valid". There is a fork of JsLint, http://www.jshint.com/, that accepts tabs as well.

Answer 1

The issue with that code on jsLint is due to the identation: if you indent it with 4 spaces there're no errors

(scroll down to the options and change identation settings if default value is not what you want)
