Stack Overflow

I see Jim provided a little insight into that on Stack Overflow. Namely that this area is not well documented and standardised to begin with (i.e. What the return value of event handlers does if anything). Either way we can take for granted and be thankful that the click handler is happy to have an async function.

Private members are a relative (and welcome) newcomer to JavaScript, and are declared simply by using # as the first character in the name of the property or method. Alas being relatively new this causes havoc with some of the linters, beautifiers and editors out there. Let's hope that goes away soon (confident it will). For the record I use Eclipse with Wild Web Developer, the Atom editor as beautifier and online JavaScript linters.
