Capital Radio's London Guide. Worth pointing out: the search / map interface on this page is one of the best examples of progressive enhancement I’ve ever seen. Try disabling JavaScript and see what happens. It seems like most developers just can’t be bothered with this kind of attention to detail these days, which disappoints me.

Progressive enhancement FTW! I can entirely sympathise with the feeling that many developers are either too ignorant or too lazy to do this at all, let alone properly. It makes me smile every time I see this done right.

This is excellent! I've been learning how to do that in my own code, and it helps a lot to be able to examine such exceptional examples. Thanks for highlighting it!

Nice implementation :)

Nice to see my datepicker in the wild too!
