I was reading Juriy Zaytsev‘s (@kangax) article “Optimizing HTML” and had a few comments.
1. I have used <!CDATA[...]> sections when I’m embedding “<” and “>” but I think that’s just because I’ve used XSL before and they have caused problems when performing transformations. But I’ll try to remove it from my HTML as he suggests.
2. If I don’t have a URL to use in the href attribute, I’ll still use “javascript:void(0)” because I really don’t like the hash being added to my URL. Perhaps I should just add some jQuery code:
$(“a[href='#']“).click(function(){return false;});
That’s 49 characters, so I would have to change only 3 links to use the hash instead of “javascript:void(0)” to save space.
