Re: [Dolibarr-dev] Proposal to remove $conf->global->MAIN_DISABLE_JAVASCRIPT option in 3.8

[Marcos García]

I can't agree...

Blind users that use Dolibarr in a text browser has nothing to do with JS. I am not saying that JS must be enabled by default but that HTML and JS are prepared for this situation and there is no need to do a server check.

E.g.: a form that has an input button which triggers a function that checks if every field is filled.

1. With JS, the submit action would be stopped and the check will be made.

2. Without JS, the submit action would fire and the server will return back a reply (saying that there are empty mandatory fields)

Maybe we can't just remove the variable from the code, but... what about progressively remove it after checking that it is working properly? Also we could use Selenium in order to test that.

This option is really not to "use or not _javascript_" for common end user. But 

1) to allow to make test to be sure that there is a good separation between code on browser and code on server.

There is often code that make thing on server side (open a <td> or set a var) and finish on client side (close html tag or edit the var. With this option, it is easier to guarantee the code is clean for this.

Because of this option we were able to move from a server solution for building graph into a js solution, with no impact of code and there is a lot of example. It guarantees a better architecture/coding, even if it need more works.

2) Also, we (I) are aware of blind people that uses dolibarr in text only browser and it is a strong voluntee to keep this. They does not use js. We cant' let browser decide. Because if js is disabled, by browser, we must provide same feature or at least a minimal feature to keep dolibarr usable but from php solution so from server code. Browser can't always provide alternative if js is disabled.

A good example is the confirmation box but there is a lot of others.

Hi all,

I was thinking about having this constant in Dolibarr and I can't really fin a reason. It is the browser which decides to load _javascript_ or not and our job as developers to ensure that Dolibarr is working with JS enabled and disabled. There is no need to use a configuration entry.

What do you think?
