JSLINT site updated, and I cannot check JS scripts anymore. For me, this warning is not critical, and I don't want to go through thousands of lines to fix this, I want to find more critical problems.

Does anybody know how to turn off this error, or use legacy JSLINT?

UPDATE

Example:

function doSomethingWithNodes(nodes){
  this.doSomething();

  for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; ++i){
    this.doSomethingElse(nodes[i]);
  }

  doSomething(); // want to find this problem
}

jslint.com output:

Error:
Problem at line 4 character 8: Move all 'var' declarations to the top of the function.

for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; ++i){

Problem at line 4 character 8: Stopping, unable to continue. (44% scanned).

Problem:

Having variables on top of the functions is new requirement. I cannot use JSLINT to test code, because it stops scanning script on this error.

I have a lot of code, and do not want to threat this warning as critical error.
