RE: Section 508 Standards Compliance and Scripts

I don't know enough about the JavaScript engine to know whether or not JS
content is delivered before or after plain HTML but I do know that if you
have tested with JS disabled and no content appears, then there is a problem
with compliance.

JAWS users may not be affected because JAWS runs on top of IE and as long as
IE is not JS-disabled, the JS-content will be "visible" to them. However,
compliance with JAWS is not complete compliance - other users use other
applications which may or may not support JS or in fact may not support some
JS functions.

I suspect that your test was as revealing as much as any of us could say.
