function foo(){ // TODO: . . . return x;}可以说是在熟悉不过了。当然除了这种定义函数的方法，我们还有另外几种方法也能定义函数：
var foo = function(){ // TODO: . . . return x;}var foo = new Function('{/*todo*/return x;}'); 后两种方法定义的JavaScript函数，在调用起来和第一种没有任何效果上的区别。
不过由于JavaScript是解释性语言，当我们定义一个函数的时候，解析引擎生成一个Function对象实例，然后把函数内容保存下来。所以每执行一次函数定义语句，就会生成一个函数。而不像编译语言，一个函数编译一次后就被任何语句调用。啊？难道JavaScript不能调用定义好的函数？不是这个意思了，当我们在制作JavaScript控件时，如果动态输出DHTML来作为控件的内容，就容易出现这样的问题。比如我们在一个HTML对象生成过程中，使用了inline方式定义的函数，那么这个元素生成几次，那个函数也就要同时生成几次。
function TestObject.prototype.Render(doc, id) { var span = doc.createElement('SPAN'); span.Object = this; this.m_Element = span; if ( id == "NamedMethod" ) { span.onclick = asdf; } else { span.onclick = function() { var asdf01 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf02 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf03 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf04 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf05 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf06 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf07 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf08 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf09 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf10 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf11 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; var asdf12 = ['a', 's', 'd', 'f']; }; } span.Name = this.m_Description; span.innerText = this.m_Name; span.style.display = 'block'; return span; }函数span.onclick = function()中的内容是用来占位置的，这样inline方式定义函数，每次Render()都就会生成一个新的函数对象。使用inline方式有什么不好呢？当对象实例多了的时候，会很明显的浪费内存空间呀，试验数据如下：
| Normal Method | Inline Method | |
|---|---|---|
| Initialized | 27.4 M | 27.4 M |
| Rendered | 33.4 M | 35.2 M |
