Hello Umbraconauts,

I just disabled JS in the middle of debugging something, then tried to use the backoffice... of course it didn't work, and it was a "d'oh" moment on my part, especially after I started restarting IIS and looking through logs in the database instead of remembering that JS was off :-)

With that said, the Umbraco backoffice is quite user-unfriendly in this respect: if Javascript is not available, it just gives you a "loading" bar forever. Shouldn't there be some sort of tooltip or other cue, instead of an uninterperable screen that looks like it's doing something even though it isn't?
