Why is this so weirdly prescriptive about inline event handlers?
> Even in a single file, inline event handlers are not a good idea. One button is OK, but what if you had 100 buttons? You'd have to add 100 attributes to the file; it would quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare.
> You should never use the HTML event handler attributes — those are outdated, and using them is bad practice.
It’s a really good explanatory text, and then get surprisingly opinionated.
Similarly, why is an online event handler considered a security risk? I just don’t see the difference between that and using a named function?
