Yep, totally agree. That’s part of the beauty of building your JavaScript controls in a way that degrades gracefully without JavaScript: if there’s a browser that’s not worth supporting, you can just serve it the degraded experience and know that it will still work acceptably.
Thanks for the info about why it has problems with IE6. Whilst we would love to drop IE6 this is not going to happen any time soon so we are stuck with an intranet running on IE6 for about 70,000 users. So I will have to look at two style sheets so we can have a star rating system that works with the keyboard as well to help with accessability.
I am though a novice to all this so if anyone could offer some assistance with the style sheets to get this functionality working in IE6 I would be very grateful.
Many Thanks
I should clarify that the only repercussions from dropping the scripted part for IE6 is that the ratings are still fully available as radio button selections.
I don’t have the time (nor I suspect the full css knowledge) to help with the stylesheet redesign, hopefully you might find someone who is willing to do so.
No probs Paul, the css is beyond me for now and just using the radio buttons defeats the object of the design of our sites. If anyone does fancy a challenge and is willing to help with the stylesheet redesign so this works with IE6 that would be great.
