UK minister tries to intervene after Government Digital Service migration mangles Ministry of Justice webpages

Re: Crossed swords with GDS

Adding JS to a static page can improve the user experience; async page updates, avoiding full page reloads, client-side validation etc etc. But if it fails, deliver something that works anyway. It shouldn't have to be one or the other. If a user doesn't trust it as you say and wants to block it, that shouldn't break it either.

Re: Crossed swords with GDS

You missed the point on why they ask for it to work without javascript.. it's not mainly about users turning JS off (although some do) - it's mainly as a failover, so if JS doesn't download or run, there's still a usable page.
