It's obvious though that PHP can not handle it. This is why I am forced to use javascript. I have already spent a week on this and am not going to waste any further time. I have posted all my code and if someone can see a problem I'll look at it, but it just ain't worth the effort at this point.

To follow on from this, the W3 accessibility guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/checkpoint-list.html) state: --- 6.3 Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative accessible page. [Priority 1] For example, ensure that links that trigger scripts work when scripts are turned off or not supported (e.g., do not use "javascript:" as the link target). If it is not possible to make the page usable without scripts, provide a text equivalent with the NOSCRIPT element, or use a server-side script instead of a client-side script, or provide an alternative accessible page as per checkpoint 11.4. Refer also to guideline 1. --- In short, do as much as you can server side (PHP), and ensure the page doesn't break without JS. Then use JS on the client side IF YOU MUST to enhance the experience for those with it switched on. Yes, it's more work, and yes this is optional (but be aware that SOCOG (Sydney Olympics) were sued for having an inaccessible site, so it's only a matter of time before we have huge class action everywhere :)), and yes you'll reach a greater market share with an accessible page.
