No, I don't think I ever said JS was bad. I said I'm saddened by developers who use hovers, and by developers who think it's too hard to do non-JS versions of sites. I personally love using JS to improve the user experience. I think it's pretty damned cool because of the way I can use it to transform a very dull, cumbersome postback interface into something wonderful without nearly the effort that people claim it takes.
Yeah I am sorry, I was posting in response to the grandparent and somehow ended up replying to your post. This was in reference to the low vision individual who was arguing that hovers mess up their screen reader. I would delete the post but it would leave your comment hanging. So I will leave it, but it was not directed at you.
