One other thing that’s bugging me (sorry) about Yuku: you can’t view Yuku boards with JavaScript disabled.

That’s probably because of all the JS files loaded when any Yuku page is fetched. And that is probably due to Yuku being a web application based on AJAX. AJAX? That’s an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.

Now, in Labatt’s latest WordPress Blog entry I mentioned earlier, he writes:

“Q: Will there be a javascript-free version? I don’t want to enable javascripts.
“A: Yes, that is in the works. For every feature and function that uses javascript, there will be an HTML version of the feature. This is not available now but is being developed.”

Well that’ll be a good trick! Y’see, I’m no techie, but to me, if AJAX is so closely integrated and reliant on JavaScript, how can you then have a non-JavaScript version?

Let’s take another look at that Wikipedia entry:

“While no browser plug-in is required for Ajax, it requires users to have JavaScript enabled in their browsers.”

This will be worth watching…
