Funtip: Turn off javascript, render navigation and other elements on "Muse" based pages non-functional.
The lack of any meaningful fallback is disappointing.
Accessibility to content should at all stages be a priority.
- RexRollman 15y agoYou're right. Far too many sites depend on Javascript and Flash to function. In my opinion, sites that can't function without those are broken.
- keeganpoppen 15y agoSo what is the non-intellectual-purity argument for why Javascript dependency is bad? I've heard people talk for years about why it's so important to support noscript, but tbh I feel like this is the year 2011-- the internet is not (only) a set of hyperlinked documents any more, and javascript is an essential part of the experience on many/most non-trivial websites. (note: not trying to troll; I'm honestly curious)
- techiferous 15y agoAs long as you're meeting your business goals and not frustrating blind people, you're doing it right, JavaScript or no JavaScript.
- XLcommerce 15y agoThere is no reasonable argument for going out of ones was to cater for non-js users. It's on by default in every browser. If a user turned it off for whatever reason they they'll know to turn it on again if they need to.
- ars 15y agoYou can't easily index javascript sites. With javascript it's not a document, it's an application. If you are writing an app, then sure, use javascript, and don't worry about it (even if you could do it server side, I rarely see the point). But if you are writing a document then you should at least have a fallback, and reserve javascript for less important "flair".
