Yeah, it's just one of those things you have to decide on. To require or not to require. I would think that that number is a little high though. Anyway, I personally say yes... use it and tell users they must have JS to use the application to its' fullest potential.
With all the DHTML navs out there and every other client demanding to have one, it's not that big of a deal; either you have JS enabled... or you dont see the navigation... and I'm of the opinion that if the navigation is JavaScript, I can use JS where ever I please throughout the rest of the application as long as it's cross browser compatible. All of that changes for govt. sites apparently. They are very strict on accessibility and standards from what I hear. I would assume that means no JS? -----Original Message----- From: Richard White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 4:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Use of Javascript hi, sorry i know this is a coldfusion forum but i have seen a few peoplediscusses javascript and the fact that it has to be enabled in the client browsers. I have heard somewhere that 10%-15% of people do not have javascript enabled on their browsers. Is it feasible within an internet application to say to users that a requirement of using the software is to have their javascript enabled? also, what if there are several features of the application that need to be developed using javascript, and if they dont have it then of course they wont work. Is there another way around it or is this one of the many complexities facing internet programmers? just out of interest, why would some people have their javascrip disabled, is this maybe because of viruses etc... thanks for any help you can provide me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254522 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
