<noscript> elements should be rendered for better WAI support
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1803
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1803
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: General
Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.5
Reporter: Manfred Geiler
Assignee: Manfred Geiler
Priority: Minor
According to the "Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)" guidelines
(http://www.w3.org/WAI/) for every <script> element there should also be a
<noscript> element.
Although standard JSF apps won't function without Javascript, it is possibly to
write accessible apps if the developer provides alternative paths (outputLinks
instead of commandLinks, etc.) through the application.
Automated web accessibility check tools signal missing <noscript> elements as
errors.
For most <script> elements we render in the JSF core now, it might be difficult
or even impossible (eg commandLink) to automatically render alternative code
that would work with scripting disabled. But anyway, we should at least render
<noscript> elements that tell the user why the app does not run in his browser.
