People without JS should still have buttons and can use the site, they just don't get all the pretty colors. If you don't want to hide it with JS you could also just embed the buttons within noscript tags. -Ben ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
