Re: What's wrong with Blogspot.com? (web standards)

nytimes.com seems to work for me? forbes.com doesn't with JS disabled though.
Forbes.com is quite interesting, where by interesting I mean absolutely ludicrous. Instead of putting the content on the page like you normally would, they stick it in a bit of JS in the header:
<script>try {
fbs_settings.content = {"id":"content_55ca5000e4b0dee06820a6eb",[…],"body":"<!--regular HTML here!-->"],[…]</script>
I guess they really fear people with JS disabled, maybe for ad purposes, but from my perspective all they're doing is making their website render slower, use more memory, and like I said half a year ago, set it up for complete rather than partial failure.
I suppose it'd be easy enough to extract just the content with some regexp or something, in this case. Exactly how to integrate that fluently I don't know.
