Re: [WSG] Question on javascript

[Ryan Christie]

I never got into the idea of redirecting browsers to different pages 
using JS. Using standards to make web pages renders that practice 
obsolete for the most part since you get a "one page serves all" product 
in the end.

If I use JS on any pages it is usually to make remembrance cookies on a 
user's computer or to add some bling to already established content like 
random images, date counter, etc. I don't feel JS is a reliable 
technology to use for distributing crucial pieces content, only things 
that can be considered extra.

Are they mostly for determining browsers and then redirecting,
or.... ?
