netcenter.netscape.com doesn’t allow browsers without javascript

http://netcenter.netscape.com/ doesn’t allow people without javascript to enter. I thought this was a web company, how stupid can they be?

Edit: Anne put this in his hrefs, so I decided to turn javascript on and try again. It popped up a dialog asked me to upgrade to the latest version of my browser (Firefox 1.0, which the latest release) at which point I promptly went and downloaded the latest nightly, and revisited with it—only to recieve the same message. What do they expect, bleeding-edge CVS? Anyway, it also had no flash of any sort, the only reference at all being that Netscape 7.2 includes flash 7 (oooh, aaah). So I’m wondering exactly what Anne means, though in much more of a curious way than a confused one. I’ve never seen such bad web design before from a company that was built around the web.

    The whole body is Flash in my Firefox. Perhaps you do not have it installed?

    No, I definitely do. Perhaps it somehow detects the flashblock extension, though?
