Summary The HTMLAudioElement works only with JS enabled

The audio element requires Javascript to have any meaningful interactivity (eg playback a live stream). This is odd as the detail element works without JS and also the other 2 engines (gecko and blink) seem quite happy playing a stream even without JS enabled. The issue could be easily reproduced by disabling JS and visiting this url: https://dgrammatiko.netlify.app/blog/from-html-to-pwa/radio/ I'm guessing video element could also be unusable without JS, but I don't have any handy MP4 file to test it locally.

Probably because our media controls are implemented using JS?

Dimitrios did you meet the issue on a big website? Or did you need it in a specific user context and/or for developing an app?

> did you meet the issue on a big website? Or did you need it in a specific user context and/or for developing an app? No, not really, I was writing a post about progressive enhancement and I was surprised that the native audio element was requiring JS to be enabled on Safari. Probably this is not a high priority issue (or not an issue at all) I just felt that this might worth reporting.
