Hi James,
I'd always create a site and content so that it initially works and
all the content can be reached using just HTML. It certainly won't
look all that pretty but by making sure that everything works fine
before you add CSS or JavaScript then you're ensuring that the site
will be usable and accessible for any user agents that don't support
them.
Once this is in place, add CSS to spice up the presentation and then
feel free to add any JavaScript to make the functionality and
behaviour easier or to add a few dazzles but this shouldn't effect the
core functionality of the site.
The following article is a really good read and explains the ideas behind this
http://accessites.org/site/2007/02/graceful-degradation-progressive-enhancement/
I suspect that you're thinking of using JavaScript to actually display
content so you need to ask yourself, how will users on mobile devices
of using a text browser read this content?
Hope that helps.
Dave

Hello,
I am pretty new to this group but have been seeing all of the useful emails
that have been sent over the past month and thought I would try my luck.
I am working on a feature story box. I am trying to develop this using web
standards but since this is fairly new to me, I thought that I would email
and see if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve. My goal is to make
this as accessible as possible to users with disabilities.
Note that there is no JavaScript yet, this is just the demo. Once the
JavaScript is in place, when the user rolls over the link, the main
background image would change as well as the selected state of the link.

Any feedback is welcome, good or bad!
Thanks for taking the time to help!
