No, implementation details *can be* (generally aren't) important. Remember I'm talking about a specific example not all web applications. The example i'm highlighting is an implementation completely through javascript. As such if a browser doesn't support JS it can not use the application. There is no meaning or point of having the site degrade to non-JS users as they can't use the thing. Chris
