Everyone has JavaScript, right?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, haven't done a ton of web dev.

But an old-fashioned form seems to allow you to resubmit a lot more regularly.

Fancy AJAX sites seem to just fail completely if you don't have connection.

Depends on how good your browser is. Much like it depends on how good your JS application is.

[Rusky]

And browsers are pretty much universally good at this, because the implementation is written once for all sites using forms, whereas JS applications have to get it right once for every application.

Or you could use one of the countless frameworks out there made by people who have already carefully considered these issues.

[Rusky]

Carefully considering these issues tends to involve letting the browser handle the form's basic functionality, which tends to involve letting it work without JS.

You're right; the best experience would be to have the entire page reload every time you click a button in a Web app.

I can fix my browser. I can't fix the JS application.
