[Accessibility_sig] question re javascript libraries

[Amy Gelfand]

Kathy,

The "accessible" part of JavaScript for me is just the notion of progressive enhancement. If the user has a smart modern browser, he gets a little something extra. If the browser doesn't understand the DOM or if javascript is turned off, the user won't realize he's missing something. I never rely on JavaScript as the only means to display vital content.

My particular situation right now is that my CSS works perfectly in FireFox, but I get only limited functionality in IE. It isn't enough to create an accessibility issue for IE users, but it sure would be nice to get consistent behavior across the board. A little DOM scripting should make up for IE's deficiencies. I do not plan to refresh the HTML on the fly, so I think there shouldn't be a problem. Hope I'm right. Only one way to find out...
