The 'magical' function (a beautiful one-liner I never even though of) is great for most JavaScript code, but there is an exception I noticed going through my 400K of code... If the Javascript contains an anonymous function, the regex will fail... Here's a function that contains multiple anonymous (non-named) functions: 
function InitializeTree (objTree, strRootID, strRootLabel, strRootURL,
+ strRootImage) {
    var objNewNode;
    
    objTree.Target = null;
    objTree.className = "TreeView";
    objNewNode = AddTreeItem (objTree, "", strRootID, strRootLabel, st
+rRootURL, strRootImage, true, "");
    
    // Set up the event handling.
    with (objTree) {
        onmouseup = function () { mouseupTreeItem(this); };
        onmousedown = function () { mousedownTreeItem(this); };
        onmouseover = function () { mouseoverTreeItem(this); };
        onmouseout = function () { mouseoutTreeItem(this);};
        onclick = function () { onclickTreeItem(this); };
        ondblclick = function () { dblclickTreeItem(this); };
        onresize = function () { onresizeTree(this); };
        onselectstart = function () { window.event.returnValue=false; 
+};
    }
    
    return (0);
}

For all other cases, I think it works fine... Again, I don't know where to start when a regex (or split, or whatever) that will handle this, but I feel we're almost there...
