Other than one specific case of a certain kind of landing page, I don't see a recommendation there to mix javascript and html. They recommend combining multiple script resources into one, minifying etc. I take putting the javascript at the bottom as putting the script tags referencing the separate script resource(s) at the bottom not inlining javascript in the page. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
