I avoid as much javascript as possible, this usually bring a lot of problems using cross-browser accesibility. Rule of thumb is if it doesnt feel right in lynx then it wont feel right at all.
CSS and CSS-P is a better aproach when it comes to styling and formating otherwise you end up with a Gmail-like page. Which is not-functionable in Opera, or any other browser that is not IE or Mozilla.
Forget about the other 100 browsers out there. I think only Konqueror got a free
ride since it was used by Apple's Safari.
If you have a big list to display just break it into multiple pages, there is no
love lost with nore reloading time if the navigation is intuitive enough for the
user.

The issue of website usability has been brought up by me and others. We have explained the importance of usability a dozen times, in great detail. We have pointed people to articles and books by respected authorities of website usability. All these efforts were subsequently ignored. Naturally, then the resulting website is one where usability is little more than a passing thought. This all occurred 2 months ago, the discussion was over a month long. After this time, everyone just gave up when they realized that their work and knowledge was not valued.
Not entirely true, Daniel :)
Could you (and anyone else who might be interested) take a look at the source for the following page: <http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/sellers-test.html>...
I've done some mods st pave the way so I can try your concept of using <div> tags and JavaScript to only display certain portions of a page. I need to know whether the way it is currently laid out is suitable, and since I know nothing of JS, could you tell me how to modify your script (and also to hide the current links if JS is available at the user's end, but display them when it is disabled).
If that can be done, it will make the seller's page much easier to use, IMO.
