Excerpts from Ertugrul Soeylemez's message of Wed Sep 22 21:57:32 +0200 2010:
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.
You can have both: www.heindke-bis.de is a page I created for a customer. The trick is to add the JS candy enhancements using JS only. Then you can enhance the interface by adding onclick attributes etc. But its still browsable by elinks and search engines by using usual href attributes. If you think about it you may find a solution which satisfies both needs. Marc Weber
