Hi,
I have several parts of my page that are shown/hidden via javascript
controlling the "display" style.
I was contemplating what will happen on browsers that do not support
CSS (eg text browsers).
If you have syntactically correct and semantically adequate markup, then sure.
It is not a matter of how well CSS degrades unless you rely heavily on positioning or
whatnot. In those rare cases then your content appears in different contexts. Again, use
valid markup and you should be fine.
Most of the parts still work if shown, but one of them is a
confirmation "Are you sure?" type box. This will presumably get shown
regardless on a text browser which will cause confusion.
Is that a JavaScript confirm()? Or if you really mean something in CSS, why not test for
stylesheet support?
Do text browsers support the "display" property at all?
If not, then how can I detect CSS support so I don't include the
confirmation markup?
I have no clue, but would seriously doubt it. The entire purpose of a text only editor is
to display the content textually and um... what is the word for in order, beginning to
end?
Hope this helps.
