Although I will admit the usefulness overall of javascript and in
specific AJAX's use thereof I still have an uneasy feeling whenever you
are using JS. Users, in general, have become smarter security wise and
many are turning off JS altogether. Unfortunately there is no other
client side "secure" technology to replace js so I guess we are stuck
with it :)

As soon as IE becomes open source we can start that.  Until then, or 
until IE's market share drops into single digits we're forced to deal 
with browsers as a given.  Besides, much of the visceral dislike for 
javascript is based on older browsers that were not at all consistend.  
Trying to write cross-browser IE4-NS4 javascript is often an exercise in

frustration.  In the IE6 - Moz 1.7 Firefox 1.0x (sorry I'm not a Mac guy

so I don't know the current ver for its browser) most problems can be 
avoided by using DOM compliant code rather than IE specific code.  This 
ain't yer daddy's DHTML.
