The 1st part is the "you've disabled scripts" example, the 2nd part is the "your browser is working normally" example.
I try to keep the website as "light" and "plain vanilla" as possible so folks with dialup, or browsers other than IE, will still have a good experience when they go to the website. But it's darn hard to accomodate all the flavours of browsers/configs that are out there.
So basically, if you don't allow any active content, yeah it's not going to look as nice. But where I'm doing very basic stuff, I consider that to be more of a client issue (ie your choice) as opposed to a website issue.
