[thelist] xssi serving up separate css

I understand why people would want to turn javascript off, but don't you
feel it limits the internet - it holds back programmers and functionality -
plus i avoid where ever i can using pop up windows - i find they cramp the
screen and plus you can get a lot of rubbish on other sites, but lets face
it if you're programming for a corporate site with their standard PC builds
you're going to be programming for IE (mainly - there are exceptions as with
everything in life), and 8 out of the 10 users don't even know how to empty
their cache let alone turn js off.

we live in a world that is geared to change yet we try and restrict our
selves in one of the fastest changing environments in the world - where will
it end?

cheers

paul

[sigh]

i hope this applies only to your personal sites, paul

if you do this on an intranet, you might just get away with it, assuming
the folks in the help desk don't shoot you first

but if you do it for paying clients, this attitude may lose you some
business

sorry, i don't mean to preach, but there are lots of good reasons to have
javascript disabled

<tip>
tired of popup windows on the web?
don't bother with those funky popup busters,
life's too short to fool around with that kinda software --
just turn off javascript
okay, rollovers won't work [yawn] but if the site doesn't
make its navigation links obvious without the use of rollovers,
you probably don't want to hang around there anyway...
