Option 2 also works for people who don't enable javascript.
I have to really need to use a site before I will enable javascript to use
the site instead of walking away. Even in that case I will often examine the
javascript code to see if I can bypass it without having to enable to get
things done. (As an aside, doing this I have found some sites that only
validate data on the client and not on the server.)
