In rare occasions I need to enable JS on a website I start up a browser in a VM. Then I'm reminded how bloody horrible the web can be if fuckwits are given any sharp tool. Yes, I've seen this kind of thing too... thanks, M*sco. No, I don't want to chat. The problem here is a symptom. The real problem is lack of usability testing - stick it in front of users (not your staff, who will a) already be familiar with it and b) will tell you what you want to hear so it won't annoy the boss and get themselves called a troublemaker). A little genuine testing will show up these problems rapidly. You've just got to put aside your ego and love of cute things, and asks what the customer genuinely wants... oh dear, that sounds like hard work. Never mind. As you were.
