In my mind, users who do not have Javascript enabled in this day and age fall are missing out on a LOT the Web has to offer. And why? Most often, because someone has filled their mind with some nonsense that Javascript is some great security risk, despite the easily-obtainable facts to the contrary. Some people turn it off because of pop-ups, but that's largely a non-issue with the improved blockers inherent in browsers now. This isn't to say that our sites should fail miserably if the user DOES disabled Javascript. But to completely discount it as a tool anymore is quite limiting, me thinks. After all, it's not as if the user has to do anything to enjoy Javascript-enhanced experiences; there's no plugin to download, and most (in fact, ALL the major) browsers have it enabled by default. And with wonderful tools such as JQuery, developers have an easier time of it, too. My three cents. Anyone got change? :) Kevin _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
