I am aware, I work with web, but no JS will work before the DOM implementation is complete, and most is utterly useless without styling. It's a better place to start. One can also work without JS for a lot of pages that aren't twitter bootstrap based, or fetching content dynamically. The first is an issue, but the latter not that much... Yet.

Best regards,
Kenny Levinsen
