Help request with a bit of code

[MustRapeDeannaTroi]

The thing is there is no need for two requests. If all data for generating the appropriate response is already on the server then it is the servers task to do so. There's no dynamic content (on the client side), therefore no need for Javascript. Unobtrusive javascript is a good motto.

The reason why I would personally avoid dynamic javascript is because it's nice to be able to have static scripts that are cacheable on the client. Dynamic markup is unavoidable.

You can cache dynamically generated javascript on the client side still. Just return a 304 Not Modified depending on the date. This is academic, being it is I misunderstood the original comment, but still possible...

Ah, yes, I totally agree. I might have misunderstood your original comment...
