How do you explain that to an important customer when a user with a
javascriptdisabled browser who tried to submit a feedbackform couldn't get
it to work, and phoned the company complaining about it?
I agree that some funcionality can and should be done on the clientside
using javascript, but I always develope webpages with basic functionality
that everyone can use. Submitting a form is in my mind considered basic
functionality.
Crossbrowser-compatibility is not only a question of brand, but of version
and enabled options as well.
