The "unexpected ++" error in jslint

What is the best practice for that then?

Jslint explains that it "adds confusion". I don't see it really...

EDIT: The code, as requested:

  var all,l,elements,e;
  all = inElement.getElementsByTagName('*');
  l = all.length;
  elements = [];
  for (e = 0; e < l; (e++))
  {
    if (findIn)
    {
        if (all[e].className.indexOf(className) > 0)
        {
            elements[elements.length] = all[e];
        }
    } else {
        if (all[e].className === className)
        {
            elements[elements.length] = all[e];
        }
    }
  }

The longstanding best practice: use i += 1 instead, following jslint's advice.

As for why it is a better practice than ++, according to Crockford:

The increment ++ and decrement -- operators make it possible to write in an extremely terse style. In languages such as C, they made it possible to write one-liners that: for (p = src, q = dest; !*p; p++, q++) *q = *p; Most of the buffer overrun bugs that created terrible security vulnerabilities were due to code like this. In my own practice, I observed that when I used ++ and --, my code tended to be too tight, too tricky, too cryptic. So, as a matter of discipline, I don’t use them any more.
