I think we need to be careful to think as developers in the open source GLAM space rather than the less accountable corporate space. While I’m a few years out of date when it comes to accessibility, I do still have some friends who are experts in that area and could get their opinion on the matter. From what I remember, Javascript != accessible. I think it was because screenreaders, at least historically, didn’t render the Javascript and that caused the lack of functionality for people with accessibility needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>I’d also add that we can use the API without using Javascript. We could build a lightweight controller which does the API call on the server backend rather than from the client browser, so the user could POST to a CGI .pl script (or a PSGI route), and the API handles all the real business logic. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>If we wanted to be modern, we could use Javascript to call the API, but fail gracefully by POSTing the form instead if Javascript turns off.
