[thelist] .Net generated HTML not validating - help?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	You can get rid of Javascript OR postbacks, but probably not
both.  Since Viewstate is what holds the postback architecture together,
you'll probably have to keep that around if you want to lose JS.

Ken,

You are right.  I meant View State... :-)

Take for example this site:

I've been ask to come up with suggestions for it.  One of their wishes
is to make it more accessible.  My knee jerk reaction is to tell them we
need to get right of the JS post-backs.  Being as I'm an ASP guy, not an
ASP.NET guy, my second reaction is to suggest switching to ASP.  It's
not a terribly complex site, by any means.

Given what you and Aardvark suggest regarding controls, what would be an
appropriate course to rid it of the client-side BS it currently has in
it? Thanks.
