Strategies for Non-JavaScript-Enabled Visitors...

Er... what? You're talking bout this sitesell blokes? The ones, whose
webpage issues 24 warnings when sent through the validator? The ones
using <font> and several proprietary attributes? The ones defining font
sizes in "px"?

Wow, that's funny! But it doesn't surprise me...they're "unique" over
there, shall we say...they're a multi-million dollar company that's
been around since ~1997 but they're first and foremost network
marketing types, so basically they're about "making money" and much
less so about "technology" and "clean code"...you know, the
"whatever's clever" sort of people (which many of us are, from time to
time concerning certain things)....

Not to badmouth my webhost, now -- they're very good in other ways,
especially for a certain kind of newbie...unfortunately, I might be
leaving them sooner or later 'cause they won't even let me upload
simple .ani or .cur files and there's no explanation why not!

If anyone else has an opinion, please check out http://buildit.sitesell.com/sunnyside.html
and let me know...I've got three months "invested" in this service
and, like I said, there are many things I like about it as a n00b, but
certain little things bother me, yet the thought of transferring my
domain, etc., isn't all that appealing...plus, their private forums
can be pretty good, especially WRT business ideas -- but like any
forum, unfortunately, there are the "top-posting police" who like to
tell people what to say and how to say it! Anyway, if anyone knows of
a comparable host (not just another webhost, but a "comparable" one,
which *they* claim there isn't!), please let me know, thanks....

Is there supposed to be something at that sunnyside.html page?
I just get redirected to http://buildit.sitesell.com/main/home.html

Of course, with JS disabled I only get a blank page.

Sorry, I don't know what could be going on with that; it's just
supposed to be one of the webhost's pages. If you see the pitch about
why they're the best thing on the internet, blah blah blah, then
you've arrived where you should be!

You know, I'm going to try to disable JavaScript myself and
see...these guys kind of have me feeling a bit cynical...their advice
is KISS but obviously they've got JavaScript out the wazoo and their
site doesn't degrade gracefully at all! Well, what do yo expect from
MLM/network-marketing guys...even though the founder and president was
a medical doctor, oddly enough....

Oh, BTW, anybody know of a similar webhost (SBI! claims that they're
the only ones who do what they do), please let me know...I might be
looking to move my site next year once my current subscription expires
(with SBI! you pay a year in advance, though they offer pro-rated
refunds at any time)....

You are using JavaScript to to a document.write of a meta-tag refresh to

redirect... UG! Very bad in so many ways....
