A
concern anytime you use JavaScript is what will happen to your page if a user disabled scripting
in his browser. The Nivo slider uses a simple set of HTML <img> tags with a <div> to display
the images, so this script degrades nicely — the user with scripting disabled will simply see the
images on the page without the animated effect. The same is true for disabled users. Blind users
relying on a screen reader will hear the page as if the script did not exist, so they will be given the
alternate text for the images.
