“This is bizarre. No other programming environment threatens to pull the rug out from under the programmer the way the web does. If you are writing applications in Java, you do not have to be prepared for having Java turned off. But because of the browser’s long and tragic history of security screwups, JavaScript does get turned off.” – Unobtrusive Javascript, from Douglas Crockford
I disagree. The separation of the Data (the html document) from the Behavior (in the js) is just good practice. It also preserves a fundamental tenet of the (semantic) web: to reward the lowest common denominator. In the long run, text rules over all else. So may your documents be independent, and your Javascript unobtrusive.
I for one, enjoy the challenges of writing browser code in the face of adversity.
