Unobtrusive JavaScript
With the recent popularity of AJAX, JavaScript has entered a renaissance in the last year, bringing with it both cool new features and the potential for a mess. An increased number of scripts executing in web pages can lead to embedded behaviors fighting with each other and crowding “onEvent”
