Still you shold not include javascript inside html, if the javascript does not change with page. All javascript files you include on each page of your site you should: * minify, * concatenate into one file * attach a version tag to the file * serve as external, static, compressed file, with long-term Expires: http header You can read more about minimizing script download times on unofficial wiki: http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/prototype:tip-minimizing-download-times Creating one external, versioned, compressed and minified javascript file containing all the js libraries you use will ensure that you have only ONE additional connection to fetch the javascript, with least possible size. It will be fast. It will not be necessary for user to download it again until a version tag will change, or until user clears the local browser cache. Including javascript inline in html, even minified, will add huge amount of data which is downloaded with your pages every page load. This is not best idea. -- Best regards, SWilk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
