Except it doesn't, server side code is more universal. Any idea how many noscript users there are amongst other filters and browsers like xombrero. > It is simply wonderful. Best thing after invetion of WWW. Wonderful yet the need for security updates irritates you??? If you had looked into browser vulnerabilities you would see that the *vast* majority even ones which do not mention that javascript is the issue can be avoided by disabling javascript or the issue is javascript related. >> (hey, even PayPal works without JS !) Shortly before the recent security breaches I thankfully left paypal partly because they started requiring javascript but mainly because they were showing a technical lack of security understanding. Are you saying that they have reverted requiring javascript? > The thing is that web is more than "web sites". It is also full of > applications and these are totally mixed. Simple HTML5 features and CSS3 are welcome by me but even JIT for performance annoys me. I'd rather they fixed the bugs and memory leaks and let me use websites in style and confidence. If I want to run an even more complex app then I would much prefer to to do just that and run the web based dedicated application separately which any decent application needs anyway (application or plugin) and making it pointless bloat.
