    I’m trying to prepare a list of the functionality, normally provided in Contact Form 7, that would be lost by disabling CF7’s JavaScript using:

    define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false);

    I have looked through the Contact Form 7 Documentation but could find any info on this.

    So far I’ve come up with this list:

    • Checking required fields are completed
    • Displaying Success Message when form is sent successfully via email
    • Preventing full post or page reload when form is submitted
    • Any other JavaScript added in the Additional Settings tab
    • Any other plugins that rely on Contact Form 7’s JavaScript to run.

    Not sure these are all correct. Also I might have missed something.

    These are workable even without JavaScript:

    • Checking required fields are completed
    • Displaying Success Message when form is sent successfully via email

    These are not workable:

    • Preventing full post or page reload when form is submitted
    • Any other JavaScript added in the Additional Settings tab

    I don’t know about this, but probably can’t work:

    • Any other plugins that rely on Contact Form 7’s JavaScript to run.

    Other functions depending on Contact Form 7’s JavaScript are:

    • Exclusive option for checkboxes
    • HTML5 fallback
    • Character count
    • and so on.
