You seem to be contradicting yourself. You say that
your Intranet does not need to adhere to Section 508
yet you are concerned with assistive technologies and
their interaction with JS. Given that the JS you plan
to use is not simply decorative, such as image
rollovers, but more sophisticated and critical to the
operation of your page, it is my opinion that you may
have to make a decision as to whether you wish to
support Section 508 or leave it alone altogether.

Jules and other listees:

I would like this application to be Section 508
compliant. Are you saying the app must work with
JavaScript turned off, in order to be Section 508
compliant? I thought that wasn't a Section 508
requirement? (I do know it is a WCAG guideline.)

Thanks, as always for your guidance! It's greatly
appreciated.
