The statistics provided by Nicholas Zakas are interesting! http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-users-have-javascript-disabled/
About 1% of Yahoo's visitors had Javascript disabled (2% for Yahoo USA). So I guess the decision whether to use presentational Javascript or not depends on how much one is willing to work to cater to 1% of a site's visitors. It is a lot like deciding whether to support IE6 or not. ~Chetan On Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 12:22 AM, Thierry Koblentz <n...@tjkdesign.com> wrote: >> >> These don't seem to be huge disadvantages: I can't think of a good >> reason to surf with Javascript disabled. > > According to a recent blog post from Nicholas Zakas (Yahoo!) about 2% of > users browse the web without JS. > As a side note, I don't think it is always their choice. > >> Also, since the majority of >> sites use some Javascript, one should expect some problems if one >> disables it. > > fwiw, I don't agree, if the page is built with progressive enhancement in > mind, there should be no "problem".
