Just found this :
If the script cannot be made accessible one viable solution is to include a NOSCRIPT tag with alternative and equivalent content and interaction (via a form).
What do they mean by the above?

My next question is for e.g. using the style switcher js from ALA, or whichever js written by programmers for your website. Will you change the all commands to satisfy the priority even if the script is non-applicable to lynx users?
PS: Can you see better now Peter? This just make me realise that with all the concentration for accessibility on websites, I forgot about others :P Good wakeup call.

Hi Jaime,
Yes it's very important. Many differently-abled people don't use a mouse.
They use the keyboard to navigate around a page/site (generally much faster
and more efficiently than any mouse user). By using onclick or onmousedown
etc. you may be blocking their access to whatever the resource is.
Having said that, something like:
<a href="" target="copyright">
will still work ok as the default behaviour of the href will generally be
used anyway.
Best thing to do is put the mouse under your desk and navigate with the
keyboard alone and see what you can and cannot do on your site.
Or, go to one of the Public Lynx access sites mentioned on
telnet://guest.sailor.lib.md.us/ being a good one.

On Priority 1 or 2..I forgot which. There is this rule that states that one
should not use onclick for _javascript_. The problem is that most programmers
uses onclick and other actions that requires mouse.
Do you guys try to satisfy this rule? I was thinking if I got to satisfy
that rule, this means that I have to mess around with all the _javascript_s.
This thought puts me off.
