And DNN just has issues, stop using it it my advice. I do think covering issues related to proper user of AJAX principles would be fantastic. Be sure to include comments about the latest ASP.NET AJAX because the team has done a great job making it optimizable. Not to be platform specific, just suggesting. :) Tom, Pre-Compile your sites to get around the Batch Compiler. And DNN just has issues, stop using it it my advice.

The code I have seen to download them after the doc has loaded apply them, Which would change the style of the page. What about alternative stylesheets.

One topic could be about using a CDN to serve this type of content in addition to all of your static content. Another topic could be the performance implications with using eval() to compile the JSON string into an object. We have been expanding our use of JSON on our site (ex. product infomation).

How about looking at some of the performance aspects of .htaccess stuff like directoryindex order (i.e., htm or php first), and having one .htaccess file or one in each directory. Perhaps you could get into a way to do this as part of a build process using phing or ant.

One of the values of this type of info. is that its applicable to any server environment (ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, etc.) because it's speaking directly to the 'three legged stool' of web development: HTML, ECMAScript, and CSS. Thanks for all the hard work, Steve. -Andy I’d tend to disagree about the value of ASP.NET specific information.

Most of your comments and ideas have to do with large sites and with developers who understand and work with Ajax complexities etc. Please add commentary for people with smaller sites by people who are not developers. Second thing -- ASP.NET sites are terrible for startup. Suggestions specifically for ASP.NET sites (e.g. DNN is terrible!!) in addition to implementing some kind of keep-alive mechanism that periodically pings an ASP.NET site, in addition to all your other goodness, would be appreciated by many. Thank you, Tom Two suggestions to refine your writing.
