Well given that it is the documentation for a _javascript_ library you can sort of expect people to have JS turned on when visiting it ; ).

That's an excellent point Yehuda.  It's very easy to under estimate
the work involved in making an entire application "accessible".  I've
suffered through this pain for a huge Swing application.  But at the
same time, people often over estimate what is involved (especially for
a small web-app or website).  The bar is actually rather low: the app
or site must be "usable".  If I disable css and js, can I use your
site?  If I use a screen reader with your site will it work?  It
doesn't have to be pretty and it doesn't have to be optimized (bonus
points if it is though).  It just has to work.

Visual jQuery does not work without js. That was a purposeful decision I
made to get it out the door and working. Obviously, this is something that
probably will change in the future, but sites like Visual jQuery often can
be released in a less friendly format, *especially if an alternative
exists.* The existence of John's basic API made me much more comfortable in
designing Visual jQuery around _javascript_.

Thoughts?
