First of all: I hope I'm not too annoying with all my suggestions/questions. Otherwise let me know. My mind is always filled with random ideas ;)
I'd like to spark some discussion about noscript-support, particularly after I read that it was a feature suggestion for phpMyAdmin 3 over 3 years ago (http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/phpMyAdmin_3).
I don't know the numbers, but I would assume that nowadays, the percentage of pma users that do not have javascript on must be very low. If there's uncertainty about it, maybe we could start some survey/poll on the phpmyadmin site? (I would offer myself to build it)
From what I can see in the global trends, is that the amount of
non-javascript users has been steadily decreasing, with current statistics talking about only 1-3% of internet users having javascript disabled.
It feels like a clear disadvantage to me needing to always consider non-javascript users, ending up with programming every feature twice where I could program twice the amount of features instead ;)
Having said this, does pma really need noscript-support?
