>> I have heard somewhere that 10%-15% of people do not have javascript enabled on their browsers. I have never heard a number that high for users who have it downright disabled. However, I would agree that there are that many users who have Javascript blocking plugins on their browser.
>> Is it feasible within an internet application to say to users that a requirement of using the software is to have their javascript enabled? The completely depends on your audience. It's impossible to answer that questions without knowing details of the intended users. >> Also, what if there are several features of the application that need to be developed using javascript, and if they dont have it... Then they don't have it and there's nothing for you to do other than to provide them with an alert stating that they must enable JS to use that feature. No way around it. >> just out of interest, why would some people have their javascrip disabled, is this maybe because of viruses etc... By default, my NoScript plugin for Firefox blocks the Javascript for every new site I visit. I then have to menually allow that site in the future if I need to. It is completely because of viral scripts that throw up pop-ups, pop-unders, alerts, URL forwarding, DHTML windows, and all the other tricks that advertisers have come up with to inundate us with their products. I'm sure most people who have above a beginner level knowledge of Internet usage and browsers use something similar.
