As soon as I have javascript disabled it doesn't work anymore....
I myself usually develop a normal HTML version of something then start altering with JavaScript. You could have the exact same gallery as you do now except it would work without javascript as well because the "basic html page" could have the same layout except javascript will allow to alter src or DOM in general so you have complete control over the page anyway....

In any case it should be possible to change Gallerix slightly so it'll work in a very basic fashion when javascript is disabled?

Although graceful degradation is important, at least for decorative, non-essential JS features of a site, the fact of the matter is that Gallerix is an AJAX module, and thus was constructed as such. Statistically, the amount of people who've disabled scripting is low and I'd rather spend most of my time adding new features than having to code around HTML first. However, since it does a fairly traditional database backend, writing a HTML-only "alternative" shouldn't be too hard, you're right.

I'm sure if there's enough interest in a scriptless version, one of the many talented coders here will invest some time in writing an alternative module. If not, I might write one myself, but my plate is very full at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Silvio

Gallerix is now gracefully degrades! Everything works except the Widgets, which are optional.
