Okay, I think I'll soon be getting all the JavaScript/CSS/DHTML-
related "site mechanics" wrapped up...at least until I decide on real
Ajax-style interactivity next year!
But until then, I'd be interest in strategies for dealing with those
visitors who don't have JavaScript enabled...how I can not only give
them the same access, but not make that access "corny"?
Like, for example, I want a modal window to pop up on a
hyperlink...but someone without JavaScript enabled would not get that
modal window effect, and would instead simply be sent along as if to a
"real" hyperlink, complete with a "page redraw," totally breaking the
design! How can I prevent that, while ensuring that such a visitor
still gets the information?
Etc.
As always, so many thanks for all your time and help!!

Design your site without any JS involved. If it works decently, add JS
stuff as "nice-to-have-or-look-at". E.g. the non JS version comes
without popup calendar, error messages are not in modals, but plain
server-generated messages. Forms must be validated on the server-side,
but one can add AJAX functionality for a better response times.
However, some features will lead to "parallel" (and labor-intense)
solutions. E.g. the online shop. The classic one with checkboxes, the
nice one with drag-and-drop baskets.

Actually, that's exactly how I started out...then I realized that some
folks choose to disable JavaScript!

Unfortunately, my webhost doesn't allow server-side scripting! http://buildit.sitesell.com/sunnyside.html

Oh no, does Ajax involve any server-side scripting, then? Hmmm, I
figured I'd learn with this webhost of mine, but it seems I may be
coming up against its technical limitations sooner or later!
However, some features will lead to "parallel" (and labor-intense)
solutions. E.g. the online shop. The classic one with checkboxes, the

Well, I was wondering how to avoid parallel or duplicate solutions,
too, which falls under the heading of "corny" and "inelegant"...I 've
only got a few bits of JavaScript, actually, but they're "legit" and
important, like a JavaScript search engine (technically, a directory
pretending to be a search engine!)...I was wondering how best to
gracefully provide for such circumstances.. ..

So what? They get the not-soooo-pretty-but-still-perfectly-usable page.

Hey, then it's easy. You can forget about all the "serious" stuff, since
XHR (aka AJAX) doesn't make (much) sense without server side scripting.

Practically speaking: Yes.

As I said: It's *extremely* unlikely, to find a solution, where you just
add some JS to your classic checkbox-driven shopping cart, and it
becomes automagically a smooth drag-and-drop-application.

I'd be interest in strategies for dealing with those
visitors who don't have JavaScript enabled
Such strategy depends on the solution you are making.
If it is a conventional Web 1.0 site with Javascript used to "nice up"
your pages then check your pages with Javascript disabled to make sure
that they are still accessible, navigable and usable.
for a sample see for instance amazon.com or hotmail.com
If it is a Web 2.0 solution where client-side script-driven interface
is an essential part then don't forget to provide a user notification
with instructions what does he/she have to do to use your resources.
for a sample see for instance www.youtube.com or www.facebook.com
In either case <noscriptbloc ks are very handy.

I would start by having your basic page layout contained within
the <bodyof your of your document, rather than a completely
empty one!
Figure out what you need to have so that visitors have something
to see _without_ resorting to JS or <noscriptblocks .
If you have stuff that absolutely has to be delivered via JS, load
it into <div>s with specific id values rather than constructing
the entire page that way.
Here's what I see when I visit your site in Firefox with the
NoScript plug-in enabled: http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/~dstone/sunnyside.tiff
- stunning, isn't it? ;)

Huh?? Have basic page layout in the <bodytag instead of an external
CSS file?!

"Look and feel" is very important to the "ethos" of my site, and I use
JavaScript as a kind of communication, since to my mind "special
effects" are like a sort of "body language" -- stuff that
communicates, but non-verbally. For visitors who would put on
"JavaScript blinders" I need to make content accessible, but without
making duplicate pages. Problem is, something like a modal window --
how else to get that same info across when JavaScript is disabled??
If you have stuff that absolutely has to be delivered via JS, load
it into <div>s with specific id values rather than constructing

Well, that JavaScript site search engine (again, really a directory)
needs to work...I was thinking of using the Google Free thinggy in
case JavaScript is disabled (Google Free isn't JavaScript, too, is
it??)....

Hey, wait a minute!!
I have JavaScript disabled in Internet Explorer 7 (it was disabled by
default for some reason) and I can still view that site nicely, with
the JavaScript working just fine -- I think I wrote about it in my
"browser weirdness" thread on CLJ a month ago...for some reason, http://buildit.sitesell.com/sunnyside.html with all its JavaScript
worked fine but my offline site, which I tested in IE7 with JavaScript
disabled, didn't work (no image-swaps, etc.) -- ?!?!
But how did your NoScript plug-in do that??? How come simply
disabling JavaScript doesn't result in the same thing???

It's Web 1.0, though hopefully one day it will be so popular that the
trouble of implementing Web 2.0 would be justified!
My main concerns involve the JavaScript search engine and modal
windows.
for a sample see for instance amazon.com or hotmail.com
I think amazon insists on cookies. I hate sites that insist on
placing cookies, though I usually have no choice if I am to access
them.
If it is a Web 2.0 solution where client-side script-driven interface
is an essential part then don't forget to provide a user notification
with instructions what does he/she have to do to use your resources.
for a sample see for instancewww.you tube.comorwww.f acebook.com
In either case <noscriptbloc ks are very handy.
Hmmm...how can I use <noscripttags for a modal window? That's my
main issue right now (aside from a JavaScript search engine that
wouldn't work -- any work-arounds for that??): how to provide the
information given by modal windows when JavaScript is disabled....
And speaking of modal windows...I'd e-mailed you about the subModal
hyperlink you'd provided in another thread...if you don't check e-
mail, let me ask you here: how do I hack the code so as to prevent
horizontal scrollbars from showing up?? They appear when the webpage
already has vertical scrollbars. I looked on the subModal group in
Google Groups but wasn't able to make sense of the suggestion offered,
about subtracting 18 pixels from "the offset div" in the
JavaScript....

No, actual CONTENT - the page you gave in your URL was completely
empty, apart from some links server up by the JS.

Disabled for ALL site, or only ones which aren't flagged as
trusted? It's been a long time since I poked preferences in
IE, and I don't have access to IE 7 at all, but my recollection
is that things a bit, um, "clearer" in Firefox and related browsers
compared to IE versions.
But how did your NoScript plug-in do that??? How come simply
disabling JavaScript doesn't result in the same thing???
Try installing Firefox and No-Script on your test box, and see if
you get the same thing...

Hmm, didn't realize their page was like that! That's my webhost, you

Er... what? You're talking bout this sitesell blokes? The ones, whose
webpage issues 24 warnings when sent through the validator? The ones
using <fontand several proprietary attributes? The ones defining font
sizes in "px"?
