  • What you don’t need javascript for

    With all this Web 2.0 craze people start assuming that we all have javascript. I have a message for those people: you can have forms without javascript. I know that all those fading and stuff is cool, but if you use the standards more people can use it. Example (I don’t mean to pick on…
