It also looks a bit 'dumb' that we dont have a link to others from the
download page within our no script tag:
Of course it doesn't make sense to refer to a page with JS when JS is
disabled in the broeser. That's why there is no link to the webpage.
downloads, need to provide a download link, that is just common sense.
There is another problem with othes.html but not offering ANY link, is no
solution.
Sure, that's the reason why we are discussing how to ensure this for
more users than now.

In the last few weeks we've seen users unable to see the big "Download"
button in
http://www.openoffice.org/**download/<http://www.openoffice.org/download/>due
to broken (but still
used) browsers that failed to parse the JavaScript correctly. And
http://www.openoffice.org/**download/other.html<http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html>cannot
be used as a
fallback due to the same issue.
The JavaScript in other.html is used only to generate the page content,
and the result is independent of the user's browser: as Marcus
explained, it is there for convenience in creating the page.
How are we using the<noscript> tag within others? and which kind of
content is it trying to plug?
Would it make sense to do the following?
1) Add an "All Apache OpenOffice downloads" link in the right-hand-side
column of
http://www.openoffice.org/**download/<http://www.openoffice.org/download/>near
the top: this way, we
ensure that browsers with poor JavaScript support still display the
link.
Problaby the quicker solution, still is just a patch instead of just
doing good webdev.
2) Rename other.html to other_js.html
This is a bad idea, I've seen many alternative clones being
unmantained by webmasters.
3) Modify other.html by pasting the actual download table (can be
retrieved, for example, with Firebug from other_js.html) in its HTML.
This way we add a manual step (step 3) once per release, but we can be
sure that virtually all users can download OpenOffice in all cases
(working JavaScript, no JavaScript, broken JavaScript).

Andrea.
