If you don’t read Encytemedia, head on over and start reading this series of articles on degradable Javascript. Justin is talking about this technique in general using his new javascript library along with Rails.
This looks to be a promising technique and I can’t wait to try it out. A big part of accessibility for sites that don’t want to skimp on the javascript goodness is making sure that the site degrades nicely and still functions when viewed by a browser (for example, a screen reader) that intentionally doesn’t support all that craziness.
And in addition those crazy people that turn off Javascript for the fun of it will still be supported too.
