| 12:56 | <laurentdhont> | Good evening to all. I wonder where I can find the specification for the automatic creation of variables using the id of HTML elements. Should I look in the ES or HTML spec, and what is the term for this auto creation? |

| 13:00 | <Andreu Botella (he/they)> | They're not variables. In JS, when you use a variable name that isn't in scope, it's looked up as a property of the global object (window in this case) |
| 13:06 | <laurentdhont> | Thank you very much, this really helped. Is there any way to disable this? I guess not |
