Traditionally, I was very conservative when it came to making use of JavaScript (and even CSS) in my projects. Years ago, I was spending horrendous amounts of time double checking my sites on various browsers, particularly Netscape 4.7. As a developer, I found it was a necessary evil to get the site to work on all browsers, and became quite good at it. I now use Microsoft Virtual PC to test my websites.

Disabling JavaScript is like buying a fancy car and never driving it. The web is far too dependent upon JavaScript now that to disable it is like missing the web entirely -- and a lot of opportunities in the future.
The PROBLEM is that for some reason Microsoft and Mozilla (Firefox) alike can't get the damn sandbox concept right. WHY!? How hard can it be?! After 11 years!!! FIX IT!!
