I agree with you. I use NoScript, I don't use Javascript on a site I've never visited before. And MapQuest just showed... nothing. As if it was a horrible server error (some PHP sites show a blank page when the PHP goes tits up).
If I wasn't interested to see what they were doing, I would have been gone by now.
This is a horrible introduction to people who accidentally stumble onto the site.
No offense, but it's not a demographic worth catering to. It's not a malware site, it's mapquest. Anyone who accidentally stumbles onto the site will have javascript turned on.
