# Improvements to JavaScript analysis
## General improvements
* Support for the following frameworks and libraries has been improved:
- [jGrowl](https://github.com/stanlemon/jGrowl)
- [jQuery](https://jquery.com/)
## New queries
| **Query** | **Tags** | **Purpose** |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Cross-site scripting through DOM (`js/xss-through-dom`) | security, external/cwe/cwe-079, external/cwe/cwe-116 | Highlights potential XSS vulnerabilities where existing text from the DOM is used as HTML. Results are not shown on LGTM by default. |
## Changes to existing queries
| **Query** | **Expected impact** | **Change** |
|--------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Misspelled variable name (`js/misspelled-variable-name`) | Message changed | The message for this query now correctly identifies the misspelled variable in additional cases. |
| Uncontrolled data used in path expression (`js/path-injection`) | More results | This query now recognizes additional file system calls. |
| Uncontrolled command line (`js/command-line-injection`) | More results | This query now recognizes additional command execution calls. |
## Changes to libraries
* Added data flow for `Map` and `Set`, and added matching type-tracking steps that can accessed using the `CollectionsTypeTracking` module.
