The article presents a few HTML features. (From the title I didn't know what to expect.) Summary:

There are new HTML attributes (popover) that help with modals/popups/menus.
You can toggle (show/hide) content with HTML. (The summary/details elements have been around for a long time.)
For text input, you can provide a datalist of entries to auto-complete. It isn't supported by Firefox yet.

Ironically, the article showed a blank space where a graphic would go before I bothered to enable Javascript. On the plus side, it was readable regardless.

You mean: how the web was before it turned into shit?

Do you remember the tag, or pages that wouldn't work without a Java applet or Flash plugin? Good times ;-)

How far back are you talking? JavaScript became a standard in 1997, and IMHO Ajax really improved the browsing experience.

Speak for yourself! Personally I feel that it built character to have to click a button every time you wanted to see a different part of an online map, rather than dragging it around.
