Hello Sandra, hello Malcolm,

this sounds like an interesting idea, but unfortunately the site won't work without JavaScript. I think, a professional developer site should.

I can understand why it would be slightly better for any website to not require JavaScript clients since it becomes a bit more accessible. I'm confused though about why being a "professional developer" site would make this feature even more important. Care to expand on that?

Even though I'm being made fun of, Gwern is actually right. When coding I sometimes find it much quicker to use some text browser or in-editor browser to look something up. Developers shouldn't be denied doing that, because development doesn't need fancy eye candy. As said, JavaScript /support/ is fine, but JavaScript /requirement/ isn't. But that's just my humble opinion. Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
