While I totally agree, this goes far beyond accessibility. The reasons not to use javascript to drive anything are many, but mostly because browser support cannot be relied upon: maybe there's a bug (or "feature"... thanks MSIE) or the user has javascript turned off. The worst is when I had Adblock removing all of the advertising from Yahoo! mail. When they upgraded their service to compete (poorly, I might add) with gmail, everything stopped working. Since they had relied 100% on javascript, and Adblock was filtering-out the <script> inclusions, nothing worked.
