I think we can assume developers have javascript enabled. If they don't; the layout gracefully degrades, so they can still use it.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Simons Sent: den 15 februari 2010 11:24 To: Castle Project Development List Subject: Re: Proposal for new layout I actually like a lot the colour scheme that Henrik is proposing, and I disagree that we should stick with something similar to what we currently have. I don't like the overuse of accordions on the front page, but I agree with the use of javascript(jQuery) to put a bit of aliveness on the homepage. And if the user doesn't have javascript enabled, then enable it! (I think you find surfing the web without javascript enable quite a painful experience nowadays).
