Yeah I know. But "literally no page text" is only missing a couple words. The correct version is super short.

The noscript version needs a button and a big box with an X. And even then the button would only be half-functional so I understand skipping it. It mostly just needs a "missing content" warning.



I don't follow. The title says "why some people mow a lawn better than others". Presumably, through getting people to play some interactive demo, they got some insight into the answer to that. Why can't they just use text to communicate that insight to me, instead of expecting me to go through the same demo? Why is there not any text after the demo describing the lesson learned? Or before, for that matter?


There is text after it. But you have to click the button to get there. The button is the main broken part without javascript. But like I said "the button would only be half-functional so I understand skipping it".


No, there is not "text after it". There is also no button.

The logos at the bottom are images from the page footer.

Read the next sentence. You have to click the button to get there.

> There is also no button.

I keep saying the button is broken and I says it needs to show up on noscript. How can I be clearer?


> How can I be clearer?

You can try understanding that it is not acceptable for the page to look like this with JavaScript disabled. There is no good reason why the "next sentence" can't just appear on the page, using the same technology (HTML) that the opening paragraph uses.
