under no circumstances should javascript be required just to click on a link.

How about just saying MSIE5 is the UK standard - otherwise all of those .gov.uk sites will need a "technology revamp" to get rid of the Frontpage tag soup.

Nice of them to document the bleedin obvious.

@Jacqui - there aren't many Council's that use Frontpage, probably more commonly found in the FE sector more than anything else now.
