Subject: Re: How to optimize Ajax site?
Hi Tim,
One important thing is to have valid (X)HTML. I looked now at http://www.sea2skyrentals.com/ with the W3C validator http://validator.w3.org/ and it has some HTML errors, including some about <script> elements for the JavaScript code. Errors like these might make parsing of JavaScript somehow unpredictable. Also your home page uses HTML 4.01, this is OK, but I am wondering if XHTML might not be easier to parse by bots, because it makes possible use of better parsing mechanisms associated with XML. In XHTML, if correctly marked, there is better separation of the JavaScript code from the HTML content, for example <script type="text/javascript"> <![CDATA[ <!-- ... script content ... // --> ]]> </script> Cristina.
