Simple html vs Javascript generated html?

Question

In my web application I would like to complately avoid html and use only javascript to create web-page\'s dom tree.

What is faster writing web content in the traditi

Answer 1

By far the traditional way is faster, the user downloads the file, it is there, parsed and done.

If you do the JS way the page has to be built client-side, EVERY time they load the page.

That is just a horrible way to build a page IMHO and a nightmare to manage/update/create
