The timeline graph is drawn using JS. Without JS you do not get the very nice timeline graph. I don't see any reasonable way around that. JS is also used for robot defenses. Depending on server settings, users who are not logged in see a honeypot as the href= of anchor tags. Then JS goes through and sets the correct target after mouse movement is detected. This can be circumvented by logging in. Usually logging in as "anonymous" is sufficient. Click-to-sort on various tables is done using JS. Opening and closing subtrees in the file tree display is done using JS. That's all that comes readily to mind. I agree that Fossil ought to be usable (though perhaps with reduced functionality, such as no timeline graph) even with very old and primitive browsers. Fossil should not *require* any of the latest HTML5 stuff. Certainly it is free to take advantage of those new features if they are available, but Fossil should still be usable without them. -- D.
