That sounds like a real pain, as if you want to make functionality on old tech, then use new to “spruce it up” that’s not redundancy nor graceful degradation, it’s just developer torture
To be fair, this was ~12 years ago and the web has changed a lot since then. But being able to submit a form without js still seems reasonable to me… it also means you are doing proper backend validation. Something I’ve noticed newer devs sometimes have no concept of.
