JavaScript should only ever enhance a page. Not provide make or break

I disagree.

The above is a choice you make, and a good one, but it is a choice.

You could have tested for JS compatibility and have the js incompatible
user diverted to a different set of pages.

Or you could not care a damn for the users without javascript.

Perhaps not nice, but "only ever", no.

WARNING:
The caring for and protecting of the sensibilities of js-off users also
will increase their numbers, do we wnat that?
