Sure, and from the point of view of thieves the locks I install are bad.

Maybe, just maybe, people should stop trying to develop webapps and instead make websites that just work without javascript. Like this one.

Nobody in their right mind would ever want to zoom & pan a map on a website, eh?

1) I agree. Apps have maps, but most websites?

2) Zooming and panning can be done without WPA. At most some basic JS, although I think you can do the same via HTML+CSS.

3) The old way of zooming panning was buttons for zooming and panning. Those worked fine. In face ,they worked better than zooming and panning buggy implementations.
