Hi everyone, I often talk about how valuable graceful degradation and progressive enhancement can be when creating flexible, accessible designs. Progressive enhancement is the process of enhancing a base of good semantic markup with additional interactivity.
Here are a couple of really interesting articles from the Filament Group about their excellent work with jQuery and progressive enhancement. The first article describes how they created an accessible slider control that also works with JS turned off: http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/developing_an_accessible_slider/ The second article describes a very comprehensive test script they've written to evaluate browser capabilities: http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/delivering_the_right_experience_to_the_right_device/ In my opinion, this is exactly the way good DHTML should be written!
