    Well now, this is marked depart from AJAX stuff you were tinkering around with. =)

    I wonder, how much different is this than using newer xhtml only versions of form? I've seen some wicked non-javascript stuff being done in that space, but I don't recall ever thinking, "would lynx work with this?".

    I guess as a general question - and also as a measure of my own ignorance - what's the level that you're going to in regards to accessibility?

    For instance, the majority of corporate websites (external) are really more functions of Marketing, Advertising & Corporate Information. In this regards, as a read-only type app, the use of Javascript, Flash, are things done to enhance the base presentation. All sites, I would assume, should degrade at the very least to a larget text blob/block. Hence, the basics of alt tags, etc. play a part.

    That being said, the use of extranents as a function of corporate business/supply chain management, now those sites I've always assumed, would NOT necessarily play a part for accessibility. Wouldn't extranets, etc, be ... I guess more "exempt" from such laws?

    Wouldn't a bigger problem be, imo, multi-lingual support? Would multi-lingual support be more in lines with accessibility than the use/non-use of javascript?

    Honest questions, I assure you. =) I look forward to hearing opinions.
