Re: is javascript considered good wacg 2.0 practice?

Hi David,

Whether a user has JavaScript enabled or not is not an accessibility
concern.
A site that relies on Javascript for functionality is equally problematic
for all users who do not have Javascript enabled.

Whether the Javascript that is used is coded to provide the correct
information and interaction behaviours  is an accessibility concern.
