The bottom line is that you can greatly improve the end user experience with javascript. A little goes a long way, and as long as you test on IE6+ and FF 1+ you have most users covered.
You need to gracefully fall back in case the user doesn't have it enabled though. I had no idea how many folks have it turned off until I started my current job working on a public facing site. Plus, sometimes it seems to blocked at the LAN level so adjusting their browser settings has no effect. Now I have a <noscript> warning in the header that lets them know that their javascript is disabled and many useful features of the site won't work because they don't have javascript enabled. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Claude Schneegans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 12:02 PM Subject: Re: Get imagesize > >>but because of the > lack of control that we as web developers have over the client > configuration. > > In my case, I don't rely on JS for anything important on the public site. > For the admin part, I have test for cookies enabled, JS enabled and > anti-popup disabled. > A user is not allowed in with a crippled Browser. > And they all comply with no problem.
