If it doesn't work without JS, is it going to work in a screen reader? Should developers have to implement extra functionality for the < 1% of people who are blind?
Nobody is forcing developers to give a damn about accessibility, but it's a bit sad that so many have thrown graceful degradation out the window.
- btgeekboy 13y agoThe way I understand it (and I don't claim to be an expert): yes, it will work. Modern screen readers let the browser handle the JS and related parts, and it reads the displayed text.
- justincormack 13y agoScreen readers can generally cope with much use if JavaScript now.
- dthunt 13y agokey word 'much'. That's like saying something 'mostly' works and therefor 'it's not a problem'.
- justincormack 13y agoNo, I meant it can be made to work, you of course need to test it.
