>you recommend web apps never do any DOM generation Full stop right there and you're correct. I really prefer to limit code that looks like: element.innerHTML = '<div>Do you really like content in your JS like this?<div>'; I'd rather have the HTML loaded as one file and have the javascript in another acting on that HTML. Right now my favorite library to use for this is Knockoutjs.
