Yeah, it does what it should, and yep if you are running a 6 year old browser,
chances are someone already is doing all your internet banking for you. Having
someone put a hold on a book you don't want, is the least of your worries at
that point.

I think it is better to allow those who run without JS turned on (often for
very legitimate reasons) to be able to use the OPAC. Than to try to support
browsers from last decade.
