Scriptless Day on 7th of July

Monday, April 9th, 2007 at 10:28 am

I just came across Scriptless Day via Twitter, which is something like CSS naked day but for JavaScripts. I had the same idea but didn’t bother as after me criticizing naked day I’d have appeared as a copycat.

In essence scriptless day is a great idea as it should show that:

  • web sites with properly developed scripts do work without scripts
  • JavaScript does make our experience smoother when it is available.

I am not too sure about the explanation of what a script is, and rather scared about the notion that it is nothing you have to think about if you believe in a library doing it for you, but all in all I am looking forward to this.
