    Hello again,

    I have another question. I feel that I'm using excessive amount of JavaScript in this website.

    http://www.advancebaggage.com/

    Will it affect my Google ranking?

    Thanks

    11 external javascript files is a hell of a lot for a website

    although I switched off javascript and I can still navigate around the site, which is important

    Thanks for the advice... Can i fix this issue if i reduce the number of external JavaScript files by writing all functions in one File?

    Thanks

    It is probably best to consolidate your javascripts into one or two includes. 11 is a bit excessive in my opinion. I don't know if it matters (probably does not), but might be easier for you from a maintenance perspective to have them all in one?

    Plus you can get rid of 10 lines of code...=)
