What is the use of DIM ?

[tdevick]

I personally am starting like Option Explicit more and more. It keeps me from making dumb mistakes like this:

Code:

dim recurring
recurrring=browser(<whatever>).page(<whatever>).WebLink(<whatever>).GetROProperty("innertext")
if recurring="clickme" then

...

I have done this too many times - declared a variable and then used a mis-typed version of the variable later on. Infuriating!
