Does someone have convincing evidence that the use of JavaScript for such a trivial task constitutes any form of accessibility barrier whatsoever in 2003? What is the complete list of "user agents" in widespread deployment that cannot understand that kind of rudimentary JavaScript? How many people use those? Where is the evidence that anyone other than a few privacy freaks and Slashdot-reading Linux nerds turn JavaScript off? How many of them are disabled? Why are people still clinging to the myth that JavaScript and inaccessibility are one and the same thing? -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book/>
