I just saw this JavaScript tip on w3schools.com:
---------------------------------------------------
Avoid new Array()
There isno need to use the JavaScript's built-in array constructor new
Array().

Use [] instead.

These two different statements both create a new empty array named points:

var points = new Array();         // Bad
var points = [];                  // Good
---------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know why using 'new Array()' is considered bad?
