There are some empty objects that should have been removed, but other than that it follows the specificity format. The site was built in .NET using Sitecore CMS. Hope that helps you get your hands dirty! Brian Hi Ron,

i was looking all over your website for a portfolio but it doesn’t seem like you put one up? do you have any example websites where you’ve used this structure? it looks very clean!

Thanks for pointing that out. You can have a look here for one approach: http://synarchydesign.com/insert/ Thanks for your comment! Hi bushman,

Would this be best of both world? ps. I am thankful that u share, I am always learning from u. Brian,

I've used separate JS files as well, and I find that is still the best approach for extremely large Web applications. The approach above works best when there is no construct for having separate files (but you still can class the body tag), and it is easier to just use one file. Thanks again!

Lately I have gone in the direction of having one common js file (namespaced of course), and js files (again, each namespaced) for the needs of varying pages. During build/deployment I have a method in place that serves the combines/minifies/serves appropriate js files. I do think I'll give this a try on my next smaller project where I'm not so concerned with asset separation. Thanks for sharing. I like the approach you’ve outlined above.
