RE: Guideline 6.3 interpretation

with all that code on individual pages, it does not make sense to use client
side JavaScript.  If the servers are not an issue, it would be much easier
to write business rules and put them on the server side, fix during test and
maintain  - if the validation was on the server-side.  also the files size
of the downloaded files would decrease for a better customer experience.

Subject: Guideline 6.3 interpretation


Hello,

We are working with a commercial organisation that is using javascript
heavily to check the integrity of entries and selection on their
transactions pges.

Testing to date with keyboard only indicates that a mouse is will not be
required with a few small changes, and screen reader (JAWS 3.7) testing
with a blind user is also largely successful.

However, the site will probably fall apart if javascript is disabled -
where does this leave them with respect to meeting Priority 1?

Any advice?  Andrew
