July 18, 201115 yr Hello web… overlords >.> Say I create a site that is perfectly functional with HTML, CSS and PHP… Question 1) If I introduce a load of JavaScript on top of that, but not compromising what is already there, would I ruin the search engine friendliness and accessibility? Question 2) If I introduce a load of JavaScript that completely messes with the HTML and CSS this time, would I ruin the search engine friendliness and accessibility then? Keep in mind that for both questions the site is still functional with JavaScript disabled. And no, these are not trick questions. ^-^
July 18, 201115 yr Uhm. If it degrades gracefully you should be fine. AFAIK the GoogleBot does not crawl with Javascript.

July 18, 201115 yr As above. So long as what you have underlying the site is a perfectly readable semantic site, then you're all good to go!
July 19, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the replies!! I will just forget about JavaScript until the site is finished ~_^
