[...] And we had some very experienced hands in the audience (many knowing both languages intimately as well as Java, C, C++, Ruby, Perl etc.) but still stunned by the final verdict: that Javascript sucks harder—I thought I’d clinched it with CSS selectors for dependency injection but by using a negative rating system, hype and buzzwords were quickly slaughtered—it became a process of catharsis in which the “winner” was the one that came out hurting less—this is the new language advocacy!

[...] Some of the reading I’ve been doing lately has made me realize something I had taken for granted. AJAX couldn’t exist without the standards that I’m always going on about. AJAX calls depend on CSS classes and ID’s to make changes to the structure of a webpage. That’s the entire idea behind the Web 2.0 line of interfaces.

It almost goes without saying, but it’s nice that somebody bothered to say it. Interface design on the web cannot progress forward without standards compliant markup! Hooray for standards!

Michael continues, talking about the real significance of CSS in an Ajax-enabled architecture, noting that it’s more than just a way to “cut down on markup”. CSS really is a key to several of the features we’ve come to know and love – just take a glance at Script.aculo.us. CSS is as integrated into Ajax and Web 2.0 applications as anything yet some seem to forget about some of the other powers that it has. Simple CSS can be found all over, but look at CSS-only layouts and some of the more advanced documentation to see how its power can be used for good for you and your site.
