  In principle there is a <noscript> link for tabs. Have you spotted specific case where they do not show up ?

    In forge, click on a project, you get the list of tabs, and X loading images, the content never loads.

      Oh, and the links that are displayed link to the home page...

      context ? settings ?

  There is also the comment cube where reply or add depend on javascript.

    -> ticket on comment, then ?

    note that comment will soon be refactored using reledit

    maybe you have some instructions as to this has to be improved wrt accessibility ?

      sure, this is a big ticket that can probably be split into multiple more specific tickets

  actually the purpose is to make cubicweb's javascript accessible rather than make it usable without javascript

    ok, I admit this is probably a better approach...

    For example : http://fnagel.github.com/jQuery-Accessible-RIA/Tabs/default.html

    For the record, the users that have no javascript or javascript disable are :

    • users concerned about security that use no-script extension in ff
    • users in corporate environnements with limited browsers (security again)
    • geek users using lynx/curses based browsers...

      imo:

      • users using noscript are on their own (may they send patches)
      • corporate environments using restricted js shall pay to have it working with their restrictions
      • geek users using lynx are, right now, not complaining (at least the one I know @logilab)

      that leaves special screen readers: do they handle js at all ?

          I wrote that ? weird ...

          any specifics ?
      • 2010/11/03 10:49

        geek users using lynx are unable to use CW sites and therefore ignore us.

          can you prove it ?

      You missed one:

      • programs (other bug trackers, scripts) trying to know the status of a version / issue...

      We lack a useable api for these.

      Examples from Debian:

      • the watch script, trying to see if a new upstream release is available
      • the bts-link script, trying to see if a forwarded issue is fixed

        Also, search engine robots may miss parts of the site if we don't take care about it.
