Is it a good for sites? I place much javascript on my site and didn't sure is it a right decision? What are u think about all this...

Javascript is client side, this is mainly why it is recommended to use php or asp to be able to master more parameters... Nevertheless javascript is very simple and avoids having to reconnect to server...

You should be able to use as much Javascript as you want, so long as the page functions correctly, the visitor can access the content when it's disabled, and you take steps to make sure it degrades gracefully in the event of user errors.
A large part of this that I see violated regularly (IMO) is burying links in Javascript-generated drop-down menus.

I notice that javascript has served my needs so far, though I see that PHP is more powerful. I wonder what you mean by "more parameters" and "degrading gracefully" : are these things implied by a simpler language, or client-side versus server-side, or BOTH?

Well for my part - I mean that if Javascript is disabled or if the client's Javascript engine malfunctions, does your page look like a shotgun blast pattern or does it still look OK and function properly?
