Useless Use of Javascript

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2003/11/15]

I hate sites that use Javascript when they don't have to.  Fine, go ahead
and use it for your fancy drop down menus and so on, but make sure your
site still works without it.  Sites that require it in order to submit a
form are especially annoying, because it usually means that they're
trusting the Javascript to do input validation. so they're breaking form
submission for pretty much no increase in security.
