    clueless host

    Taking cluelessness to a whole new level.

    < http://support.apollohosting.com/ >

    The beginning of the html is below.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <html>

    <head>
    <title>Error: JavaScript is not enabled</title>
    <link href="http://www.apollohosti ng.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet "
    type="text/css">
    <script src="http://www.apollohosti ng.com/_scripts/jscripts.js"
    language="JavaS cript"></SCRIPT>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-script-type" content="text/javascript">
    <noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=/common/noscript.phtml" >
    </noscript>

    Take a guess what that accomplishes? WARNING: Do *NOT* load this page
    with js disabled. I found it to be possibly the most obnoxious thing
    I've ever experienced on the web. I cannot complain to apollo right
    now because if I do, cuss words will be involved. What clueless
    ****ups. (See? Best to wait a day or two.)

    They really can't blame me or anyone else for slamming their server
    senseless with repeated requests when it's their code to blame.

    That said, they are clueless anyway, because the site works just fine in
    Lynx. I don't know what they are intending to accomplish by trying to
    reject non-Javascript browsers for no good reason.

      Apollo hosting is clueless as a hosting provider as well. Their technical
      staff is not very good. This does not surprise me at all.
