Why Use Unobtrusive Javascript
May 10th, 2007 | Published in Blog, Web Design
One of the Best things about CSS is that you keep your content and style separate from each other. Keeping the style separate from the content of a page allows you to keep the markup intelligible. The benefit of this is that it makes everyone’s job in the production line easier. The developer does not have to worry about adding style to the content and the designer can keep making tweaks to the design without altering the content on the page. If you already have a large site up and want to change the appearance of a few elements this is a huge benefit.
How this all relates to unobtrusive JavaScript is that the same principals of CSS can be applied to JavaScript via keeping the behavior of a web page separated from the content.
