Congratulations, Sam Heywood, on taking a stand against Javascript! If the
purpose of the Internet, including the WWW, is to provide information rather
than glitz, we need less bloatware, not more. It reaches a stage where I think
we were better off with Gopher. With Javascript, Java, Shockwave, etc, the
software required just for "simple" Web browsing becomes huge. We need to know
when to tell the webmasters and software companies "no more!" Standard HTML,
and the upcoming XML, ought to be good enough. Internet users should not have
to keep up with the latest and greatest. Webmasters ought to quit Javascript,
Java, Shockwave, frames too, or provide a diet-version alternative without those
"features".
