The PageMap _javascript_ allows your site to have multiple windows open and give each its own in-session page stack. Unless your application _must_ have multiple window support then this does not affect usability. Also, Wicket 2.0 has infinite disk based page storage so I think that even this restriction no longer applies.
One site I read said that compliance will probably equate to supporting this w3 accessibility guidelines at:
So basically, the PageMap detection script does does not affect accessiblity but things like the SubmitLink could if there was no alternative.

Hello,
a question regarding that PageMap-_javascript_:
What will happen if a browser has JS disabled? Will it still be
possible to reach every page and all?
Another thing to avoid is the SubmitLink, as it will _javascript_ as
well.
Coming to think about it - are there other Components which _require_
_javascript_ to work? Maybe we should start a list on the wiki...
DDA compliance becomes definitly more and more important, especially
in the public sector.

Fascinating. I had never heard of DDA compliance before but a little
Googling makes me realise that I should really take notice.
Especially the part about sites like Priceline.com being successfully
sued over their accessibility.

Regards your question: wicket does by default use some _javascript_ to
detect new windows for its PageMap implementation. But this is not
essential user interface script and I can't see how it could stop a
site being accessed correctly. All other _javascript_ and AJAX is
completely optional. You have complete control over the mark-up that
is returned (unlike JSF) so you can use CSS and basic HTML if you
want and be completely compliant.

Hi,
I'm considering looking at Wicket after a painful two weeks on JSF
(actually Apache MyFaces) and thinking "there has to be a better
way"...!. Most of my work over the last 5 years has been JSP/
Struts etc...
I'm a J2EE developer but coming firmly from the web side rather than a
back-end developmer. I want to use a framework that has clean markup
and is intuitive for people with web skills. (Anyone who has seen the
ghastly JSF tabular layouts and poor Tomahawk div implementation will
understand!)
I am about to start work on a webapp where one of the requirements is
for a DDA compliant interface. If I were to use Wicket, does it have
any reliance on _javascript_ or anything else that may jeopardise a DDA
interface?
Thanks,
Andrew
