I do not know about you but when *I* browse the Web I either use a
browser that has no Javascript capability at all or with Javascript
deactivated unless I explicitly switch it on. It is annoying enough
that Web dysdesigners are so sure that using a flash-enabled
webbrowser means that Javascript is activated that they not even
inform the user that a Javascript script is used to detect if one has
a flash-enabled browser.

That the created pages are usable with any browser was an important
reason for my choice to use rassmalog. I do not oppose to include a
Javascript engine but the integration than should be done in a clever
way. My suggestion is as follows:

1. Keep the current search
2. Add a search using javascript
3. Make use of <noscript> in this manner:
   a) If Javascript is enabled display
      "Search (Javascript enhanced)"
   b) If Javascript is disabled display
      "Search (no Javascript, deprecate)"
4. Add a small paragraph about why to enable Javascript to the latter
   search.
5. On the same page add a piece of Javascript that replaces the page
   by the Javascript version of the search.

A site using Javascript is good if and only if the necessities still
work with disabled Javascript. Bells, whistles and eyecandy can rely
on Javascript.
