Re: <noscript> interfere with screen readers?

This should work. The standard problem of users with screenreaders who leave
javascript on being surprised the first few times they select something
(until they learn that there are two different ways to work with a list box
like this) will still happen.

  Sorry for a slightly newbie question. On a program I'm building, we're using

  tell me, does this interfere with the accessibility? Many thanks for word.

  <form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/something.cgi">
     <select onchange="JavaScript_does_cgi's_thing_unless_scripting_off">
       <option value="none" selected="selected">Click below:</option>
       <option value="foo">Foo</option>
       <option value="bar">Bar</option>
    </select>
   <label accesskey="s"><NOSCRIPT><input type="submit" value="do
  something"></NOSCRIPT></label>
  </form>
