I'm certainly not against it, if javascript and non-javascript users can =
make use of ZMI. But it should certainly work for both and of course =
correct. However I think it is a huge work to make ZMI javascript =
enabled, not?
A pythonisch replacement of javascript would even be better (but that is =
just flavor, since it would give more webbrowser incompatibilities)
Tom.
But, this is of course not a topic for this list.
