Why are some of the older developers afraid of javascript?
joe_bleau: I only turn javascript on when I need it for a site that I trust (easy with Opera).  If I forget and leave it on, it seems like far too many sites bog down my machine with crappy eye-candy and advertising.  (Maybe I won't care so much when/if I upgrade to a faster PC.)I find it terribly annoying when a site requires javascript, but doesn't do anything compelling with it.  For instance, why on earth does this page require javascript to be on, just to show me a .jpg map?  http://www.arkansashighways.com/Road/mapopt.htm
