Richard, You are right. I stand corrected.
This is what I meant, when I said trinidad was not fully 508 compliant. According to W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), web pages should be fully functional with JavaScript disabled. This is required under Priority 1 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. I guess, technically it's a WCAG guideline. Trinidad commandButton fails to function when the javascript is turned off. http://www.webaim.org/techniques/javascript/#guidelines Now my question is: Is there any other library that lets the page fully function even when javascript is turned off while still be accessible? Thanks!
