Results of very cursory test on eBay site:

Still get "If you are seeing this page, your browser settings prevent
you from automatically redirecting to a new URL" message on log-in (not
sure if this is JavaScript-related or not, but it's certainly not true!)

No longer get "You must have JavaScript enabled to use My eBay" warning
on visiting My eBay page

Clicking on 'Watch list and other lists' (javascript link) still does
nothing

Cling on Price range button still warns 'Button cannot be activated ' in
status

Clicking on 'Add to watch list' now works: (weirdly, now works in
non-JS version too: no longer necessary to log out in order to access
this feature from NetSurf! apparently they've *removed* a JavaScript
dependency?)

Still not possible to delete selected items from list ('button cannot be
activated')

'More actions' javascript link beneath top two actions for item in list
still has no effect

Clicking on 'Choose more...' link in order to see full range of
available filters for a given search (e.g. all shoe sizes) downloads a
file of what looks like JavaScript variables
({"model":{"values":[{"title":"UK 1","selected":false,"disabled":false,
etc.) with a source URL ending in "&_jsoff=1"




Sorry, not sure what sort of thing I ought to expect to be testing for.
This site is probably too complicated.
