Sorry, the trivial amount of people using noscript is simply unimportant to me.

- vinceguidry 12y agoThis attitude is, quite frankly, pathetic. People have no respect for their craft.
- gipp 12y agoAnd what about falling back to a verbal description of the chart for those of us on ELinks?
- vinceguidry 12y agoRespecting your craft means using the right tools and techniques for the job. Not caring about one group of users is no excuse for needing Javascript to display a chart. You don't use Javascript to display a chart because you don't need Javascript to display a chart. Render the chart server-side and use an image to display it. It's a static chart, it's not like the information is changing with every page load. To do otherwise is just lazy and disrespectful.
- camhenlin 12y agoI didn't actually look at the site that's being complained about but SVG charts are actually the way to go in terms of accessibility, and they can certainly be rendered client side (but maybe shouldn't be, as you say, if the data is static). Charts made this way definitely beat out an image with a description svg accessibility stuff (not my blog, just one I found after a quick search): http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2013/12/using-aria-enhance-svg-accessibility/ http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2013/12/using-aria-enhance...
- serve_yay 12y agoOn the contrary! We just conceive it differently than you :)
- vinceguidry 12y agoCraft is not a personal conceit. You're thinking about art. And even then, most arts have a craft. Knowing your craft usually makes you a better artist, but is not strictly necessary.
- philwelch 12y agoHow about the fact that the page stalls and freezes and is completely unusable on an iPhone 5?
- slavik81 12y agoFor a sentence that begins with sorry, that's quite an abrasive followup. It's rather offputting.
