I don't see anything on this page except for a black field with a light gray
grid and a starry pattern.

And a message, in unreadable black on black, that says "Javascript is either
disabled or not supported by this browser. This page may not appear
properly."  I've tried looking at your page several times in the past with
the same effect, but this is the first time I noticed the warning message.

The problem is that the default foreground color is black, and the
page has a black background but does not specify a foreground color.

There should be a <FONT COLOR> tag in the <NOSCRIPT> area.

If you're going to require javascript to show pictures of lego models, I'd
recommend at least making the warning message VISIBLE, and include a link to
your brickshelf page.

However, the number of users who disable javascript today is probably
0.01% or so...
