I never said that it did. I "force" them, as you put it, to use JS,
hardly an onerous requirement is this day and age. I know of no browser
that doesn't support it and the several I tested against the app gave,
by and large, no problems.

If I forced them to use IE6 or higher under XP *only*, as many sites
appear to do, then you might have something to complain about.
