http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2002/March/javas.php says it's more like
12%

you gonna argue with stats based on a HALF BILLION visits?

perhaps lots of sites are still incapable of graceful degradation

what about companies whose IT depts have decided to turn it off?  public
libraries?  what about people who purposely turned it off in response to
the many warnings and advisories for security purposes?

i like javascript as much as the next guy, but it should not be *required*
