First question is whether there's a more appropriate mailing list for an application rather than development oriented request such as this. I didn't find one but then I was looking in the xalan source documentation so might have missed something obvious. Feell free to refer me to a better list then ignore the message.
The problem: Making pages with javascript play nicely with browsers which don't understand it, such as emacs-w3, lynx etc. The reason: A range of special needs users (including me) use these browsers. It seems that most of the javascript functionality (rather than window-dressing) can be implemented other ways. My question is whether the transformations offered by the combination of xalan and rhino will allow this. The idea is that the browser will deal only with html derived by transformation of the original pages containing javascript. Checking of input fields etc would be performed by executing the relevant pieces of javascript and presenting the browser with the generated html again. Of course not all things could be done this way but most of the unimplementable stuff seems completely visual and hence not very useful, at least to the blind users I'm thinking about. So my specific question is whether this looks like a good platform to attack this problem. If so, then I might ask some more specific questions when I can find a better forum to do so. Apologies for the generalist interruption to the coding discussions Peter
