Use the transitional DTD instead. If you must use Javascript, make it an onclick attribute of an anchor that goes to the page anyway, and return false, to avoid any confusion. Pages which have dead links unless you enable Javascript are becoming an increasing annoyance. Making pages that don't work without Javascript is a much worse accessibility violation than using transitional DTDs.
