Tony Adams wsrites... With the “Web 2.0″ world that we live in, companies are inclined to create “snazzy” new AJAX experiences for users. I have been dubbing this the AJAX Dilemma lately because organizations/companies/website owners are creating sites that are not accessible and SEO friendly. They are risking crippling their businesses in the areas of search traffic by not planning SEO into the lifecycle of the product.

SEO friendly Ajax is all about appending nodes to the DOM.. I wrote about this awhile back here.

SEO friendly remains the same - and as Kenny notes, unobtrusive js on pages designed to degrade nicely is simply good practice.

I'm playing with a CSS-only liquid layout now at UpperLeftPlacement.com. No images, no js, no browser hacks/conditionals. Breakthru technology, right? Not. Rare, though.

@johnandrews: I agree to an extent...the thing is, people still look at it as "good practice", but it shouldn't just be that...It needs to be built into the standardized CSS and JavaScript for any site and any modules/components/controls that are used should leverage those standard APIs.

When you build standard CSS and JavaScript, it does all the work for you, so you don't have to worry about making sure there is a graceful fail, it is already built in. :)
