Christian, I think the majority of JSF users want to have Javascript enabled in order to get our interesting Tomahawk components working the way that they do. Remember that even the basic JSF spec'd CommandLink requires javascript to be enabled. That said, there's nothing stopping you from creating an alternate renderkit that does not generate javascript. In this particular case, if the javascript in datascroller is unnecessary, submit a patch to show how to make it work the same without it and we'll take a look. You might also talk with Alexander Jesse as I know he also cares about the issue of javascript. Thanks!
