How can I make JSLint more strict?

Question

I am working on a JS application that needs to support IE8. To check my source, I am using JSLint. Works fine so far, unfortunately it allows functions like "bind()", which are not supported by IE8.

Is there a way to "tighten up" JSLint, so that it doesn't allow source that wouldn't run in IE8?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about JSLint, you can view the available options here.

Using JSHint however, you could use the //jshint es3:true option to

[...] tell JSHint that your code needs to adhere to ECMAScript 3 specification. Use this option if you need your program to be executable in older browsers—such as Internet Explorer 6/7/8/9—and other legacy JavaScript environments.
