Hi,
Really a nice article. Lots of knowledge to improve the website performance. But just wanted to ask some doubts like-
1. Some times when you write css in a separate css file and inherit it in your webpage using reference of that css then it will work in some browser an not in others.
I have this issue, page is working fine in internet explorer but not in Google chrome. ANy solution for this. Till now i have used inline css for this. but this is not a good method.
2. When ever we have to use javascript or jquery then which one is beneficial-
write in the same page or in a different script page and use that as a reference.
