Think about the Flash bypasses, there are ways of testing for Flash plug-ins in JavaScript and not loading, but it is easier to ask the surfer. Their annoyance is to do with time, and I refuse to load the plug-in till all my audience have it - and are on broadband.

But JavaScript can do wonders if you know what happens when it fails. I test my site on various strapped-down systems and on one college net some machines report a problem without apparently faltering and others that look identical don't.

I have contrived to put all semi-colons in properly but still can't figure it.

My JavaScript is frippery and when not working does not prevent the data being seen.
