NY Times did an article on it:
[nytimes.com...]

Very heavy javascripted, so if you're surfing without it, forget about it.

they do offer instructions on how to turn your javascript on:


We're sorry, but you'll need to enable JavaScript in your browser in order to shop our site. Please follow the simple instructions below.

If you are using Internet Explorer 5.5x (Windows) or above, here are the steps you can take to enable JavaScript:

1. Click the Tools menu.
2. Click Internet Options to open the Internet Options dialog box.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Click the Internet symbol (a globe).
5. Click the Custom Level button to open the Security Settings dialog box.
6. In the Settings list, scroll down to Scripting.
7. Under Active Scripting, click Enable so that a dot appears next to it.
8. (If you are unsure about the other Security Settings, please check with your Network Administrator).
9. Click OK to close the Security Settings dialog box.
10. Click Yes in the Warning! message box.
11. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.

Netscape 6.x:

1. Click Edit, then click Preferences.
2. Click on Advanced.
3. Check Enable JavaScript for Navigator.
4. Click the OK button.

But nothing about Firefox. So to all that worry about javascript......if the Gap doesn't mind not supporting people who turn it off, I don't either. (Actually I never cared about that - they need it for my site. don't want to use it? don't come to my site.)

Both Gap and OldNavy - are still down for me. It does have a nice new "feature" if you are using Opera - it just keeps reloading a page, but never bothers to display anything.

Nothing special for me, just another online store.

Hype hype hype... Nothing special. Just another JS heavy site. I didn't do much poking around, is it AJAXed?
