Dave Johnson did some benchmarks for W3C DOM, JSON and XSLT as Ajax response formats. His conclusion is that XSLT is by far the fastest method. I hope he gets around putting his test pages online soon, so that people can verify this conclusion.

Microsoft has finally pulled the plug on IE Mac. Understandable, but it's nonetheless a pity. IE Mac can't do modern W3C DOM, but back in 2000 it was really an awesome browser with the best CSS support of its days. In 2000 and 2001, when I was sick of Netscape 4 but Mozilla wasn't yet a serious browser, IE Mac was my favourite.
So long, and thanks for all the CSS.

Spot on.
'a powerful incentive for hosting and running an awards competition is to help make the host a center of power in the community. By creating the forum, inciting the inevitable drama, setting the rules, and (likely) helping to entrench one's friends and supporters as powers within the new community hierarchy, those who create awards are likely to reap significant benefits from doing so.'

Dean Edwards starts a series of JavaScript tips. This one is interesting, and although I'm going to think about it before implementing it, it could very well be an important improvement.

For once I disagree with Jeremy: the innerHTML property is a beautiful invention that makes DOM scripting much simpler, and I don't have the slightest compunction about using it. I hope Jeremy will work out his "issues", because innerHTML is just too good to ignore.
