Hello all. A student asked me about accessibility of javascript. I have some doubt about what can or cannot be considered accessibile in JS. In fact, from a point of view, JS should simply be avoided as the only mean to implement a relevant functionality. I.e., the same functionality should be available (in other ways) even if JS is not active on that user agent. On the other hand, JS events should be as modality-independent as possibile (onSelect instead of onClick, etc). But, still, if JS is not supported, this is simply not sufficient. I'm sure this has already been discussed in the list. I've just looked at wcag 2.0 draft, and have not found a simple answer, so I turn the question to the WG. Thanks all Maurizio Boscarol http://www.usabile.it/
