Thank you Lucy, so I read through a bit of the site (not all) and found the following
"Use server-side submission, even if JavaScript is used to carry out most of the form validation, it shouldn't be used to actually submit the form content. This would make it completely impossible for anyone to send their data unless their browser supported JavaScript." To aid my understanding, are there any statistics available for people with reduced vision and disabling javascript? I agree with the use-case, but I've never seen hard facts on this topic. I'm not a well read expert on the matter so its great to have your attention. From what I gather, javascript in itself is not necessarily a bad thing - as long as it is used with accessibility in mind. I have seen RIA work well with readers, I think Cameron Moll's presentation at UIE 12 covered this, I'll see if I can dig out the examples... With that in mind, I'm wondering what your views are on the rising tide of richness in web interaction? In my mind, things are going to become more complex in the client. I wonder if holding out for html only client-side is a practical goal? Correct me if I'm wrong... with the practicalities of development, I see the hard requirements of screen reader compatibility resulting in a reduced experience for 'accessibility' in the long term. Would it not be better to embrace technology as it arrives and advocate best practices? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
