I know that I'm in the minority, but I hoped that your site worked with scripting turned off. > This is one of those crazy web2.0 things, so you'll need to ena

  Why? How would that even work?

    I find this a very strange question. It would work the same way most other websites work... You'd enter a domain into a form, hit the submit button, a new page would load with the results. It would look slightly less fancy because all the results would return at once and there would be no animation. However, you'd then add some javascript to the page to overload the submit button and make it use js to retrieve the results to get the current effect. So most users would have the fancy bits instead.

      But then the page would load slowly... and be dependent on the performance of the remote server. Let's say if he decides to query a bunch of servers to check out uncommon tlds, then his site would have to wait for the slowest link.

        Hence why this would be a graceful degradation and not the primary interface. You could then change the warning text from: "This is one of those crazy web2.0 things, so you'll need to enable javascript. Sorry." To: "We cater for non JavaScript users, but results will be returned much more quickly if you enable JavaScript" A much more friendly message.
