Is there any case in which removing a BOM from a Js file created in Visual Studio 2008 will cause problems?

Question

I need to automate tests of our javascript files using Rhino and Jasmine. We have a lot of js files created in visual studio, and thus contain a byte order mark...

Rhino doesn't like this and moans about the BOM...

Is there any case, no matter how fringe, that will cause the javascript to malfunction if I just strip out the BOM from the Javascript files?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Some browsers may dislike the BOM too. It is better to leave it out anyway and specify proper encoding when using/sending the file.
