Progressive Enhancement

Guys,

While I'm ruffling the wicket feathers I thought I'd ask about about another
issue that's been bothering me with wicket.

>From what I can see you either have the option of using AJAX or not. This is
all well and good but they seem like very forked approaches. So what I'm
trying to say is has there been any thought into taking a progressive
enhancement approach?

Taking that approach would mean pages that "were ajax" would work if the the
user disabled javascript or not. Not to mention a whole wealth of other
benefits that can be found here...

Just a question/thought don't flame me ;)

You can have this kind of degradation with wicket. Just use
AjaxFallbackLink and AjaxFallbackButton, they work both with or
without Ajax, depending on user capabilities.
