Hi, all.  I've just started on this list, as I'm learning a little
Python.  I do, however, do a good bit of Javascript work and thought I
would point out something here that's not so obvious if you don't do a
lot of Javascript.

If you set links to call a Javascript function as in the example above,
if Javascript is not enabled, the link will go nowhere.  This may not
bother you the designer, but a user may not know they have javascript
disabled or may be unfamiliar with website conventions.

An easy fix for this, is to specify an actual page (perhaps a page that
says "Sorry, you do not have javascript enabled") and add a return false
attribute.  For example:

<th class='head'><a href="js_disabled.html" onclick="sortTable(0);
return false">Rank</a></th>.

If Javascript is enabled, the link will not call the href, but if it is,
then the user gets a message telling them what went wrong.  Sorry to
derail the Python list for this.

I am flawed but I am cleaning up so well.
