Re: [abcusers] Anyone up for writing a little script?

[Guy Gascoigne - Piggford]

I hate to tell you this, but lots of users switch off javascript. Unlike 
ActiveX and Java the code that can get executed on the client machine 
can't be signed and so it much harder to authenticate.

It stops sites grabbing registry information on the fly (say my email 
address), as well as making sure that unexpected code doesn't get 
executed on my machine.

As it happens I tend to leave javascript enabled, but there are quite a 
few people who switch it off (even ones in the UK).

No one in the UK has scripting off.

Yeah, but sensible users run with JavaScript and all other  scripting
turned  off,  so  you'd  only  get  the info from clients with little
sense.  ;-)
The recent warnings from the Dept of Homeland Security about  IE  are
just  the  latest in a long series of warning about what could happen
if you browsed with scripting enabled.
