What AJAX for the sake of AJAX can lead to

AJAX is a fun and good thing, happening to the web right now. But I don’ like the way many people use it.

Digg sits on the top of my list of ajax-abuse. Not only does it make the site over 15 times slower (you can test it: switch of javascript and browse digg and compare that with javascript on).

But the proof of why and how Digg is Fsking up with javascript came today: I am not logged in, according to the silly popup. However, in the comment form, you can see that Digg knows me, and that digg has me signed in.

The reason is that parts of the page are built with (cached) javascript. Not normal HTML; but document.write javascript.

Stupid digg.

Would be good to have your

Would be good to have your blog working in the famous and widespread browser named FireFox.

Then complains of ajax overuse and buggy sites would look more solid.

Andrey
