/prog/ - HTML optimisation

It astounds me how many nested <div>s some sites use in order to get the layout they want.

Less <div>s, of course, mean faster loading times and easier css-ability (thus making it easier to make alternate stylesheets or to redesign the site).

I, personally, use as few <div>s as possible, and only when the <div> is visible, either directly with a border or background or indirectly where it can be seen to alter the text flow.

Discus.

The reason you should be using less divs is to simplify the DOM tree, so that Javascript has a chance in hell of processing the damn thing some time this century.

Any other reason is laughable.

I bet you think ECMA script is a poor scripting language.

IABT: Nah, taking longer to load a few div tags than to process them with JS would be the indicator of a sucky browser. IHBT.

On the client side? I'm sure there's a way to do that (without CGI of course) but it would be much worse than JS.
