Hi,
What was the poll and are the results publicly available?
There is a difference in asking if a user would like to have javascript
turned off and them actually having it turned off, check:
http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2008/November/javas.php only 6% have it
off, and many of these will be down to their browser not supporting js
(phones and older browsers).
You do use server side validation on all forms, in addition to any js...
right?
cheers

I know that most, if not possible to say all, Web page designers use
JavaScript for form validation. During a recent poll done by a few
local colleges, 41.2% of the people who responded stated that they
would rather not have to enable JavaScript, but on rare occasion they
do for certain sites that require JS for use of their forms to buy or
sign up for something. After reading this, I did some research, and
could not find any tag attributes for form elements that would not
require the use JS for form validation.
Therefore, I was wondering if it would be feasible to include a
standard that would use a syntax similar (does not actually *have* to
be this way) to selected="selected"? In which case, the syntax would
be required="required". Or, if it is an email input (i.e. Your e-mail
address:<input type="text" required="required; include:@" />).
