And as such, you will have no problems with a site that DOES use JavaScript, but according to best practices and producing accessible output with judicious use of ARIA and semantic markup... The technology is not the problem in most cases. It's perfectly feasible to make completely inaccessible sites with nothing but pure HTML - just stick everything into one big image, like back in the 90s. Now, as then, it's not a case of blaming the tech, but rather pushing for more developer awareness and understanding. Sweeping statements about JavaScript/modern websites/AJAX/etc being bad, inaccessible, or just disliked, do not really help move the issue further. P -- Patrick H.
