Hang on... You're advocating "good" HTML/XHTML, and including
Javascript/ECMAScript/whatever-it's-called-today in that?
/me runs off screaming
Ok, there are occasions where Javascript has been used to good effect
(google maps springs to mind). But those aren't webpages, they're in
web *applications*. Damn those who stop me living in a world with
Javascript turned off. Or images turned off. Or, most heinously, with
the font size bumped up. There's a special level of damnation for this
last group.
