JavaScript code conventions - if statement

Question

Is there any reason why Crockford recommends using the else statement on the same line as the curly bracet?

if (condition) {
    statements
} else {
    statements
}

Answer 1

It just looks nicer than:

if(condition){
    statements
}
else {
    statements
}

plus it ties in the if and the else together logically so it's easier to read.
