degrading gracefully

Recommended Posts

ive built a custom cms that required a lot of ajax and js. are there any good tips or tricks for common ways to have certain things degrade gracefully? i know that not everything can be accomplished without js and ajax which is why i let the rest of the people who use it know, but for peace of mind i'd like to throw in some better functionality.

Why not?

 

AJAX, at it's core, is essentially the client script invoking the server side script's methods/functions and displaying/manipulating the results without a page refresh.  There's no reason not to have a design that can do nearly identical if a user causes the invocation instead.

 

AJAX shouldn't be a requirement of your site/CMS.  You should design it to work properly without JavaScript first, then add it on top of that proven foundation.
