How many people are disabling javascript now a days? 20%, 10%, or far less?
Your point being? You only want less cautious customers? Try turning off Javascript and visiting Travelocity. It tells you it requires Javascript, and I trust them. However, I'm more uncomforable about the ad networks they get feeds from, as Javascript injection into the networks has happened more than once. So, a tool like NoScript is a good preventative. If you are developing a specialized application, people who know enough to disable Javascript can be persuaded to enable it for your site, if you can establish a level of trust. But if your business depends on complete strangers coming to your site and trying it out, you may lose that 10, 20 percent (or far less) with only an AJAX implementation. That's what I meant by graceful degradation. http://www.noscript.net/whats NoScript alone (and perhaps only the current version) has logged 8,102,137 downloads off the Mozilla Plug-In site. And that's one of dozens of blockers. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
