So I will probably never be able to use radiant :-( While it saddens me that you can't find a Ruby solution to meet your needs, I'm afraid I have to fall back on the old excuse that I designed Radiant to meet my needs and expectations--not yours. Early on I made the decision that Javascript would be a requirement to improve the speed of development. There are times when there is not an easy way to create an alternate representation of the same functionality for browsers with Javascript turned off. So I made the decision that we would not support it--at least initially. So how could I bypass the admin view requiring JS ? Is there a way to manage content offline ? 1. You can create and submit patches to repair the current implementation. 2. You can create an extension which provides a text-browser friendly version of the admin. -- John Long http://wiseheartdesign.com ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

Boris, In order to get unobtrusive Javascript and full plain-text compatibility, we would have to change a lot of the code -- maybe this can be a 1.0 goal. Luckily JS is only required in the admin interface, so you might be able to enable JS just for that domain/url in your browser.

So I will probably never be able to use radiant :-( Requiring JS breaks overall radiant accessibility. Isn't JS mostly used to shrink the content tree ? This would be great to relax this, by providing simple fallbacks for people without JS support in their browser, see quotes below. Requiring JS would also break no-fluff and minimalistic claims, IMO. So how could I bypass the admin view requiring JS ? Is there a way to manage content offline ? I'm looking forward to see radiant as the first accessible Rails CMS ! Thanks for your attention, Quotes: developers need to provide fallback options for users on other platforms or browsers, as most methods of Ajax implementation rely on features only present in desktop graphical browsers. --Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)#Accessibility AJAX and JavaScript are supposed to be used to enhance the user experience when run on a platform that supports it, they are not there to replace the job of the server in the first place --Brett Parker, http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/blog/2006/08/29 -- Boris Daix ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
