I'm also against packaging a JavaScript library with the TDK. Still, there
are some really excellent JavaScript libraries out there and I feel that you
should make use of them if your app requires that functionality. Just make
sure your JavaScript works on all browsers (even those that doesn't support
it) otherwise you'll do more harm than good.
We do mostly client-side validation with JavaScript without a problem. If
you're planning to use WebMacro you should just disable { } blocks (It is in
WebMacro.properties and I think it is called C-Blocks) and use #begin #end
blocks, as not to confuse WebMacro with the JavaScript { } blocks.
If you're using # or $ characters in your JavaScript (and anywhere else in
your template for that matter) you can use WebMacro's #text block to make
sure WebMacro does not try to parse these.
If you have an external .js file you must make sure that the client browser
can reach it. Kinda the same way you do with images.
