Hint: you don't need JavaScript to do that.
Then again, if one's user base includes none of the above, one can certainly enjoy maximum reliability.
Doesn't.
> try opening the site with javascript turned off.
Exactly how I tested it: in the middle was Chrome. But I use Opera.
Now consider: If I'm ordinary user and I'm supposed to be helped to turn on JavaScript, I certainly don't need to see five darned icons "IE FFox Chrome Safari Opera" as the main information presented on the page. I came to the site with one browser, not with five of them. In that browser, the JavaScript is turned off. I certainly don't need the long page with the the instructions for all of them.
But as tav noted here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1794305 (although I don't agree to his "it is good as it is") -- the bigger problem is: if I'm using IE and I turn JavaScript off, I certainly know how to turn it on.
So who's the target user? I still posit that the target of the OP site are only lazy web developers ("ooh lookie I can link to this site from my noscript")
