There has been a lot of buzz recently about "CSS Frameworks." What's that you say? What is a "CSS Framework"? It's a fancy word for a base style sheet. But you see, the thing is that by calling something a "Framework," you can immediately pique the interest of any wannabe web developer.
Yet another reason to avoid inline scripts

I think it's fairly common knowledge that it's best to include all scripts in the head of an HTML page, but do we really know why? Sure, unobtrusive javascript makes your code cleaner and more manageable. It also separates out the behavior from the structure. But are there any performance benefits?
