Tough shit. I'm not writing code to satisfy 5% or less.
Do you think the people at the big corporate sites are gonna give a rats
ass because a few whiners who use some obscure browser on some obscure OS
can't see half the data?
I write my code for functionality first, looks second.
I'm working on a page now that has JS in it but that's purely for
navigational purposes. If they have JS turned off, fine. They just get one
extra long page to look through.
