In the absence of JavaScript what does your website do? Anything?
There are certain facts that web developers must accept, like how coding for cross browser compatibility is essential, that PNG24 will never work in IE6 (without JS) and that almost 60% still insist on using a version of IE. Another fact that you must learn to accept is that not everyone will be able to take advantage of your JavaScript enhancements. This may be for a number of reasons… ignorance, security, corporate policy etc. This is why it’s important that your JavaScript enhancements are just enhancements. i.e. make sure that you progressively enhance!

The minute you make the functionality of your site dependent on JavaScript you take away from the user’s experience. Let’s assume that you’re not developing a full blown Ajax application like gMail - in which case it is entirely dependent on JavaScript… but that’s okay because it’s users know and acknowledge this.
