Dude, how do you live with javascript disabled nowadays? A rough estimate (based on yahoo's data released in 2010) would set the percentage of users with JS disable to 1.3%, and that's four years ago. Nowadays everyone's on facebook, and everyone's likes shiny features and eye-candy, so I would bet those values would be at 1% or less if you exclude all the robots and spammers out there. I mean, I would only disable javascript if I had an accessibility issue and it made it hard for me, or if I was a paranoid conspiracy theorist that uses TOR behind several proxies to access the web, and even if I was, the guy is forcing SSL (kudos for that, I like it).

> how do you live with javascript disabled nowadays Noscript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/). 2,159,875 users according to that page. Javascript is off by default until I decide the page/app. is sufficiently engaging that I want to turn it on. > Nowadays everyone's on facebook Incorrect assumption. I, for one, am not on facebook. Therefore, not everyone is on facebook. > and everyone's likes shiny features and eye-candy Fine, but the basic content of the page (i.e., the actual information vs. the shiny objects) should be accessible without needing to enable javascript. If you actually had an accessibility issue, you'd likely have a very different opinion. Be thankful you don't have an accessibility issue.
