JSHint can detect JavaScript errors and potential problems in HTML files. See the project's page for details.

g:syntastic_jshint_exec (string; default: 'jshint')

path to the checker executable

g:syntastic_html_jshint_conf (string; default: unset)

path to a configuration file for JSHint.

If you're checking files containing tab characters then JSHint's idea of tabstop must match Vim's tabstop, otherwise syntastic will highlight the errors at shifted positions. By default JSHint's tabstop is 4, while Vim's default tabstop is 8.

In order to change JSHint's tabstop you have to change its indent config option. One way to do that is to put it in a file named .jshintrc in the current dirrectory, the parent directories, or your home directory. The file is supposed to be in JSON format. For example:

{
    "indent": 8
}

See JSHint documentation for more details.

Please note however that setting indent also triggers the indentation checksi in JSHint. If that is undesirable, your only other option is to leave JSHint's tabstop alone, and change Vim's tabstop to 4. To change Vim's tabstop, you can add this to your vimrc:

set tabstop=4
