Comment on Ask HN: Any stats on how many users browse your sites with javascript disabled?

Comments

I don't have many stats, but I believe some IT installations (where the browser is supposed to connect only to intranet sites) will severely restrict the allowed use of JS.

Also, I've had JS randomly break in firefox sometimes, and it doesn't get turned back on until the next install.

I think graceful degradation is still the key word here. Not just because it will allow non-JS users to access your site, but also because it helps force you to realize the semantic separation of the HTML versus JS layers.
