Hello everyone,
I'm working on a website for a small independent bookstore, and I'm debating to what extent I should use CSS and Javascript. I want everyone to be able to view the site, regardless of what browsr they're using or whether they have Javascript turned on or not. I'm not too concerned with the site not looking exactly the way I want it to. I've seen it in old browsers and some things shift place, but it can still be navigated. I have been trying to use CSS and Javascript in ways that don't affect the content, i.e. buttons may not rollover and links may not lose their underline, but you can still get from point A to point B.
The point of this post:
I want to set up the content so that product details pop up in a separate, smaller window. I started doing this using Javascript, but then realized that it leaves those users who don’t support Javascript unable to see the product details. I have been searching for ways to make a pop up window without a script. I know I can always just use <a href> and use body onLoad to resize the window, but can’t figure out how to also get rid of toolbars, scroll bars, etc.
Another question: does modifying body onLoad work on all browsers?
Is this a valid concern or am I being too picky with trying to make the site accesible? Should I just use a Javascript pop up windows and forget about the minority who don’t support it?
Thanks!
