Anyone wonder why all of these 'discovery' platforms are completely dependent upon javascript and why the developers think that's OK?

Won't work at all without javascript:

- Encore
- AquaBrowser
- SBDP

Works partially without javascript,

- WorldCat Local (the search works, but the location discovery doesn't)
- VuFind (everything but the facets?)

The only one I found where almost everything 'works' without scripting:

- Endeca

<sigh />
