"CSS frameworks work whether or not client disable Javascript."
I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I'm not sure it's that big a concern anymore.
I did a test one day and tried to get through a day with Javascript disabled and I came to the conclusion the web simply isn't usable that way. Because these days even the simple sites require Javascript because tools like dreamweaver embed javascript for menus and other basic animations.
- tptacek 17y agoUntil very recently, you were either all-in with Flash or you couldn't watch most video online. Now there's ClickToFlash. Similar things are happening with JS. Either way, it's a disadvantage of doing styles in pure JS.
- axod 17y agoAnd it's a disadvantage to using CSS if the user has disabled CSS :/ I'm not sure why that argument is relevant. Fact is, 99%+ will have CSS and JS enabled.
- mdg 17y agoSites still function without CSS. The same cant be said for poorly coded sites and javascript. I do agree this is mostly a non-issue though.
- windsurfer 17y agoThere's a good chunk of people using NoScript. By forcing people to use javascript, you're making the barrier of entry higher for those people. Sometimes, when I see a page completely broken because it requires javascript, I just close the tab. If it's too much trouble to get your pages, which might only have static text or other elements that don't require anything fancy, to work without javascript, it's probably not worth my time to check out your page.
