I hate
JavaScript, the bane of the internet. Bandwidth
hog and
security nightmare.
yes, but that is life.
you must
adapt to the world around you. Exactly! guys this isn't 1994 and people expect to
use
dynamic websites, Javascript isn't terrible and evil
when used in good proportion
You have lake front property in Nevada for sale too? :)
JS sucks. Cookies suck.
Javascript and static web pages are compatible (using
DOM and/or
document.write is not mandatory).
You could also use static
html forms for a comment system, though frankly I'd
rather use javascript to achieve the same end.
Enable JS all you want but if functionality is not available without enabling JS then
screw people who are not on broadband. Many people today are not on broadband because of
cost or lack of availability. If the TDE team wants to target people using older hardware
as good candidates for TDE, then consider the overall environment of these people.
JS might be client-side, but the scripts still must be downloaded to function. People on
older hardware do not have the CPU or graphics muscle in their machines to tolerate JS. I
have older machines here that I use in my testing. Those machines can't deal with all
the Web 2.0 bullsh-t.
That has always been a problem with computers. Devs use bleeding edge hardware and never
test their apps or web sites with older hardware. Most of them have high broadband
connections and never test with anything else.
Speaking of which, web devs need to test their pages on smaller monitors. Most web pages
these days are designed on monitors bigger than most TVS and when the web page is viewed
on a smaller monitor the text is too small to read by anybody with vision issues.
All I'm saying here is don't be an ass wipe with redesigning the web site. :)
