I don't entirely agree with this. I view JavaScript as a means to provide convenience rather than exclusive function. However one of the most accessible ways I know to do it is have JavaScript generate the elements which are providing that functionality. For example if you have a button which links to javascript.this.print(); then if it is also generated with JavaScript only the people able to use it will have it included in their content. In this way I think it is extremely valid to provide redundant or more convenient functionality which is also provided by some other server or user agent function. Tom
