Many people still consider it a serious security problem. Fine, but JavaScript is not a pure accessibility problem. Because it could be considered a security problem, or a financial problem to upgrade to get the support, or a time problem to take the time to upgrade, or platform problem, or whatever, does not automatically make it an accessibility problem. True that all these needs need to be considered, including availability in national languages, but lets try to avoid lumping them together or mislabeling it as a <quote> accessibility <end quote> problem. Scripting can actually be a benefit to accessibility. For example when trying to implement time sensitive response guidelines by allowing the client to request more time to complete an item without having to sent in the incomplete form. Regards, Phill
