Re: DB Maintenance Design Patterns

Maurice, you mentioned that there are laws that web sites must function without javascript support. Is this a law in England you are referring to? Could you provide a reference to these laws? We just recently went through a 508 Compliance test on our web sites, which all use javascript, and passed all tests.

Kevin and Henrik

I suggest you both buy any good book on best principles of web application design (including jQuery and JavaScript libraries) and also study your local law! Currently an application should be usable without JavaScript (or even
CSS) and then progressively enhanced for the vast majority of users (without forgetting the minority). I should not have to point this out but this is actually law. True it is very difficult especially with the race for client side Ajax Apps (but it IS possible and those doing it will be successful). I am not claiming I will be one of them but at least I am aware of it and I do try.

And Henrik I do not confuse anything with Java plug-ins (I've never used Java in my life and I expect I never will!). Please do not insult me again!
