I had near-zero knowledge of javascript and needed this functionality. The FAQ came in handy, but I found a bug.

The statement in join():

if (escape(temp.substring(0,1) == '%0A'))

should read:

if (escape(temp.substring(0,1)) == '%0A')

The former statement tests the escape of comparing the first character with a three-character string (which will *never* be true).

The latter statement compares a three character string to the escape of the first character.

This bug was very difficult to find for a first timer. I encourage you to correct all the instances of join() in your FAQs.
