Are websites legally obligated to provide a non-javascript login page?
<p>I have read a couple times now that Websites are obligated to provide an alternative login page when their login form uses Javascript. I have not been able to find much resources on the matter though. (Google likes to present me with websites that discuss legal information that happen to have a login feature.)</p>

<p>Are there any legal requirements for a website to have an alternative to a Javascript login form? I'm interested in answers from all over the world. </p>

<p>In the UK, the <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50/contents">Disability Discrimination Act 1995</a> includes <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50/part/III/crossheading/goods-facilities-and-services">provisions which are thought to apply to websites</a>, although as far as I know there is no case law on the matter. </p>

<p>If a website's use of JavaScript makes it inaccessible to users with some disability, it may fall foul of the DDA. However, there is no law specifically requiring JavaScript-free versions of web pages. </p>

<p><strong>In the United States, AFAIK there is no legal requirement to provide an alternative to a JavaScript form.</strong> </p>

<p>Although, from a UX perspective. If you use security extensions like <a href="https://noscript.net/" rel="nofollow">NoScript</a>. You would need to allow the site to run JavaScript on the client before you would be able to login. So it is best to use other methods to authenticate your user. </p>
