My understanding is that doing so is not considered evil at least in
so far as using JS at all is not considered evil.
Your syntax confused me, sleepy-headed that I am. In fact, onclick
and the like are also usually considered evil, for the same reasons
Brion stated (except #3). If there is in fact a performance decrease
in more extreme but not ridiculous cases, then of course it should be
fixed even if the result is a bit ugly.
