I just feel it's often a false economy. Relying too heavily on
Javascript for something that can be achieved with a little work on the
server is not good. I'm a big supporter of accessibility, and for me,
using Javascript to provide essential functionality is best avoided. I
agree that some things cannot be done (imagine if Google Docs tried not
using Javascript!) It's a topic that has come up now and again on the
list.
For the best results build the site so that all the raw functionality is
there, and then use Javascript after to enhance that. So you could
create a site that has all its contents output by PHP and navigates
using standard links, then have Javascript that re-writes the links to
make Ajax calls. Turn off Javascript and everything will still work, but
turn it on, and suddenly things work a bit better. No functionality is
lost, it's just been changed slightly.
Thanks,
Ash
