Maybe I AM gonna cry! We use JS as an external js menu that saves page size and loading time as it sits in people's cache. Also for news feeds. Both, we think, are respectful of people's time and visit. We also use it to provide rotating content promoting other parts of the site and sponsors, giving a fresh feel to the page every time you log on.

One browser now warns you that a "page is trying to open another window" and gives you the yes/No option. Maybe that is one of the functionalities can be disabled. Strongly disagree though that JS is ususally disfunctional.

Much of our js could be replaced by SSI or cgi, but having a hosted server, who keeps on telling us to use Cold Fusion whenever we talk cgi etc ($25 extra a month) ( because "Perl is antique), JS seems to be the only option.
