Javascript is great for immediate user interaction, but for page
modification like this it seems slow, redundant, and inefficient. If
we're generating our pages server-side to begin with, why download an
incomplete markup to the client and then complete the markup with
javascript? It makes sense when javascript executes differently
based on user actions and on conditions found only after download,
but I don't see that here.
I agree that, if possible, this type of thing is probably better done
on the server side. But regardless of whether it's done server or
client side, I think branding can be quite difficult to solve with CSS
& HTML alone, mainly because the required fonts often aren't
available.
Perhaps sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) would be a viable
alternative (http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr/)?
