All the critical processing has to be repeated server side anyway, 
otherwise a hacked browser could be used to inject bad data.  The 
scripting can increase the interactivity of the user interface, but, 
unfortunately that is mainly done to impress the user, not for for valid

Good design would make the client side gimmickry degrade gracefully, but 
that requires more money on programmers and designers.


I think the chances of finding banks that work without client side 
scripting are becoming vanishingly small.

Years ago I switched to my current bank because their online banking
system worked with lynx. They got prices each year for accessibility.

Now they’ve been using an Apache Wicket JS-based system which REALLY
sucks, UI-wise, instead, for a couple of years. ☹

People just don’t see the light, blended as they are from JS bling-bling.

Sad,
