Put Javascript and CSS In Their Own Files
Some web developers embed Javascript code and CSS stylesheet info right in their web pages - either in the <HEAD> section, or near the top of their <BODY> section.
This is not a good idea. What I do these days is create a "js" directory in the document root and put all my .js files in there. I've been playing with Yahoo API's; a bunch of those files go in there too. Then you can "include" those files in your <HEAD> section with something like
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/yourfile.js"></script>
Why? Because having too much junk in your <HEAD> (or in the top of your<BODY>) interferes with Search Engine Optimization. The search engines only really look at the first few kilobytes of a web page; so if there's no useful HTML content in there (because of too much stylesheets + javascript), you get a lower page rank.
If you want people to find your web site, don't make it difficult for the search engines to figure out what your pages are all about.
