In Javascript, is it OK to put the ternary operator's `?` on then next line?

Question

I really like aligning the ? and the : of my ternary operator when they don\'t fit on a line, like this:

var myVar = (condition
    ? ifTrue
    : ifFalse
);

Per Crockford

The ternary operator can be visually confusing, so ? question mark always begins a line and increase the indentation by 4 spaces, and : colon always begins a line, aligned with the ? question mark. The condition should be wrapped in parens.

var integer = function (
    value,
    default_value
) {
    value = resolve(value);
    return (typeof value === "number")
        ? Math.floor(value)
        : (typeof value === "string")
            ? value.charCodeAt(0)
            : default_value;
};
