Well "messy" makes it harder for me to read and I prefer neat code. Do you have any recommendations on sites that compress js files? I've noticed several sites, but not sure if one is better than another. Thank you for your input. It is appreciated.

As pilom mentioned, no one will be reading your compressed (also known as "minified") code. Your day-to-day programming will be in a non-compressed form of JS. When your code is release-ready, you go through the aforementioned deployment process.

I tend to use YUIcompressor, but I don't think any of them differ much.
