Not usable without JS:

  • old groups interface in /course/groups.php - should it be fixed or wait for new groups?
  • chat - create new accessible client type?

Search for 'onclick' returns > 600 matches, it is used for various purposes:

  • cancel and reset buttons - browser back button can be used as a workaround
  • form option locking - no need to fix, works without JS
  • select all checkboxes - no need to fix, items can be selected one by one
  • messaging not refreshed - minor problem, it would need major rewrite to enable JS-less operation
  • course file selection - can not be fixed, use copy/paste as workaround
  • grading exceptions - partially usable
  • various popups for autolinking (for example glossary) - not fixable?
  • exercise and workshop - needs rewrite anyway
  • hotpot - not usable without JS anyway
  • quiz - JS required
  • SCORM - JS required
  • IMS resource - JS probably required
  • JS close window - could use redirection and close_window() instead

I have reviewed the main codebase and did some basic testing with JS off:

fixed:

  • several popup selection boxes missed "go" button - works
  • messaging - works
  • chat (basic gui in normal mode) - works

proposed will not fix:

  • 'onclick' is used for cancel buttons and other less important actions that have workaround (some of the 'onclicks' will be replaced during conversion to new formslib)
  • course file selection window - users can type in the file location
  • exercise and workshop - not maintained
  • chat in chatd mode - if we ever add other guis (AJAX, Flash, Java) it could be fixed at the same time; normal mode is now much more efficient than it used to be

can not be fixed:

  • SCORM is JS based - no workaround, it is not our content
  • HotPot is JS based - no workaround, it is not our content
  • IM resource - - no workaround, it is not our content

to be fixed:

  • groups interface - N. Freear
  • Quiz - T.J. Hunt

Can you file new tickets for groups and quiz? (actually I think groups is already solved with the new version).
