1. If you suggest to people (quite justifiably) that it is safest to disable javascript and then use it in your interface, people are going to think, rightly or wrongly, that you are confused.On Fri, Dec 20, 2002 at 12:37:17PM +0000, Roger Hayter wrote:The last thing we want is the multiple warnings and tendency to stall inherent in using javascript tested with IE when it is used elsewhere, which applies the more so when javascript is disabled.The only Javascript functionality we are considering using is to make a window pop-up which is roughly the same appearance and dimensions as a normal download window. This is a very basic usage of Javascript which has been supported by all browsers for donkeys-years. If a browser doesn't support JS, or if JS has been disabled, then it will work just fine, except that the download window will appear in the browser rather than in a separate Window.If you can explain, specifically, why this is bad, then we won't do it.

2. What's wrong with "Open this link in a new window if you want to continue browsing while blah blah etc." Or, if you think only Windows users are likely to be confused (don't think Freenet works on Mac): "Right click and select 'open in new window'". Even Microsoft assume their developers know how to right click and select.
