Well... you are making a very general statement.

Not all implementations of forms need to be accessible to everyone. In my
case (a wysiwyg editor, cms), there is no way to do what I want to do
without JavaScript. My clients think they have gone to heaven. Also, they
happily go and download IE6 for windows if they don't already have it
(except for those dang Mac users :) [I do most of my work on an OSX box]
They don't even know what JS is half of the time. If they have JS turned off
they would not make it into the app, but be presented with a default page
saying the required browsers and that JavaScript is necessary. That being
the case, what is the problem?
