Don't force users to have javascript to fill forms. Yes, if it's enabled then use it to validate the form data and avoid page loads, but also let the form without it, you need to validate the form on the server anyway.

You need to have something that works with the bare minimum, then if you want you can enhance it with Javascript.

THIS. THIS, DAMNIT.

The <a href="javascript:validateForm();">Submit</a> thing I see all over the place makes me want to punch people in the mouth. Bind to the form's "submit" event and add a layer of validation; don't just completely stonewall anyone that doesn't have javascript enabled / capability.

Unfortunately they are usually extremely careless so my beautifully formatted resume becomes an unreadable mess in the process.

I've been hit by recruiters stuffing around with the formatting as well.

My current employer was sent an image of my resume via email, except with my details removed and the recruiter's logo slapped on it. Very classy.
(Fortunately my employer figuratively shrugged their shoulders and waved it away as One Of Those Things Recruiters Sometimes Do.)

Australia has recently passed laws that make it possible to outlaw groups of people; that is, if you're deemed by the police to be a member of said group, you're breaking the law. It was used against a bikie gang to begin with, but no-one has any idea how this may... seep into other things.

How long until this group gets outlawed for Encouraging Rampant Copyright Infringement or something ridiculous?

(We have no constitutionally-upheld Free Speech law/clause/amendment/anything here, which doesn't help matters.)
