Whether a single component gracefully degrades is up to the component-writer. THe JSF does (degradation is missing commnd-link...)
But not all component-writers like to put the additional grease on their components to make them degrade gracefully. Some are just to JS-fanatics. ;-) Therefor one must test and then file JS-degradation-bug-requests for each component. I (for myself) would already be happy to read in each component- description the JS-requirements and degradation grade. regards Alexander > -----Original Message----- > From: Guy Coleman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 12:15 PM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: Re: ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT > > On 20/07/2006 22:02, Mike Kienenberger wrote: > > On 7/20/06, ragsta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> a simple question: does the ALLOW_JAVASCRIPT parameter work? > >> > >> Is very important for me that my site work even if the > javascript is > >> disabled on the user browser but turnig off the param > outputlink doesn't > >> work more...even if the primary goal of turning off the > param is to > >> change > >> the behaviour of this command.... > >> > >> if this option is bugged I think I have to all back to a different > >> framework... > > > > You will be very limited in what you can do if you disabled > javascript. > > For instance, h:commandLink cannot work without javascript. > > > > Most of the interesting components also require javascript, as do a > > lot of the common "tricks" for accomplishing tasks. > > > > You're probably better off not using JSF if you're not able > to allow > > javascript. > > > > > We have had some success with using styled h:commandButtons > instead of > commandLinks to avoid Javascript. > > It's true that some advanced components cannot be used without > Javascript, but we have taken the approach that a site that degrades > gracefully is acceptable.
