Default Javascript required to access stuff in the Home Page?

Hi guys,

A few days ago I noticed that with NoScript set to block all scripts, I couldn't access "Best Freeware Lists" and "Freeware Categories" on the Home Page. I didn't give it much thought assuming it's one more glitch to be sorted out within your tests.

Now I'm starting to wonder if it's a design/ setup choice and it's here to stay.

Can anyone please clarify what the case is?

Thanks.

The Home Page uses the script to show or hide subcategories. Currently some changes have been made to the Home Page so please set NoScript to allow the script to run on this site for the time being for it to work.

Thanks Jojoyee for the reply.

Today, with NoScript active, the Home Page opens with the subcategories of "Best Freeware Lists" and "Freeware Categories" visible, but each sub-subcategory (is that even a word?) shows as a simple box with a black outline & white background, no pics or color, just plain black-coloured text.

Just a follow up.

Cheers

The Home page works for me now with NoScript enabled. I think Gizmo or George has fixed it. You might need to clear your browser history, refresh and try it again. Check also if this page works for you: http://www.techsupportalert.com/9-best-free-android-apps-you-simply-must-install-your-new-mobile-device.htm, on which the QR images should show up if the JavaScript is not supported.

Hi Jojoyee,

The link you gave does work as you say, but Home Page is still as I descriped, as you can see in the attached pic. That was taken using Firefox 4, but I get the same with Firefox 3.6.16 and PaleMoon 3.6.15.

The front page works as it should for me too with Java Script disabled.

@26Dolphins

From your screenshot, I notice that you've Adblock Plus installed. Please check if you have some blockable items enabled, try to disable ABP on the page, refresh it and check again. Thanks.

The menu's will not expand and contract on a click with java script disabled.

What I meant by "working as it should", is that the drop down's default to the open position when java script is disabled so that the sub categories are visible, formated correctly, and the images are visible. If the categories were to stay closed, then it would not be working as it should when js is disabled.

@ 26Dolphins, I would suggest you try totally uninstalling Noscript, and reinstall. I don't know what else could be causing your problem since we can reproduce it.
