This site is so far gone in the direction of completely worthless without 
JS turned on, one more JS enabled link is not going to make a difference. ;-)

Part of the issue with JS activated links with this site is the 
"designer's" insistence that ALL buttons roll over. Even the form submit 
buttons. Since Netscape 4.x does not support image roll overs for input 
type images, we are stuck with HREF and Javascript.

Our user base is pretty tightly defined, and the client is well aware that 
we are shutting out "some" users - but seriously, considering the site's 
clientele we are not shutting out more than one half of one percent of the 
users.

It's bad enough we have to code for Mac/Win Netscape (4,6) & Mac/Win IE 
(4,5) as well as AOL. Having to support anymore than that would kill this 
project and it brings in good money. Dollars are such a good motivator. ;-)
