Im just wondering how risky is the advanced mode and why would i ever want simple/whitespaces modes at all?

Maybe someone has some experience with large javascript codebases and closure compiler to boost the performance?

Past July I downloaded the YUI compressor but honestly until now I didn't use it (I develop some 3 projects by month with Ajax & rich content) so it make me ask: how much useful is a compressor in our real lives?

Ok. Thanks for it.

I have the problem is in the html:

<form ... onsubmit="myFunc()"...

<select onchange="myEvent()"...

You are right. If I make it from javascript, it is not problem.

E.g.:

document.forms[0].onsubmit = ...

But I have more problem :-( :

I have a template engine. In the template engine there ... See all content

Actually, it is impossible to edit compressed Javascript. But before going to production, you can compress your code and use it only in production.

The closure Advanced method replace function names with shorter names. I think it is hard to use in production.
