[Sigia-l] "Who Really Turns Off JavaScript?"

[Dave Heller]

Ok, I'll bite.
I thought the JS issue in menus was about accessability not compatibility?
I agree that almost everyone 99.9% have it turned on. Maybe some
whacky corporate IT person turns it off, but what about accessibility?
I thought that layering techniques and other JavaScript uses don't
work in screen readers and other accessibility tools.

If they've finally caught up that would be awesome news!!!
