darryn, thanks for the feedback!
there is nothing wrong with javascript, cookies, jquery, or bootstrap. but imho jquery and bootstrap do not belong in the weewx standard skin. - weewx must have minimal dependencies, but using jquery/bootstrap is a massive dependency - using jquery makes cheetah constructs difficult to recognize and understand - as long as the skin design is simple, there is no need for features provided by jquery and/or bootstrap cookies and javascript are no problem, but gratuitous use of either *is* a problem. for example, there is no reason to use javascript to navigate between pages when a simple href will do the job. so any javascript/cookie use must be minimal and must serve a purpose another example: individual html pages versus a single page with plot divs that show/hide. the previous implementation used the former, the proposed uses the latter. javascript to do it, cookies to maintain the state. for simplicity i would rather have no javascript or cookies, but i'm not sure whether the multiple html pages or show/hide divs is a better approach in the context of a weewx standard skin. if i'm writing javascript or css that does what jquery or bootstrap does, then i need to simplify the design. of course the trade off is that the result must still be functional and reasonably aesthetically pleasing. m
