Problems with JS turned off?

[drhowarddrfine]

I'm working on a web site that could use some control using js but am
concerned about what problems I may have with potential users having
their js turned off. Has anyone had any serious problems with this
sort of thing? I know some of these potential users are with big
companies and am wondering if anyone had real problems with that.

JS has only to be use as an help

You must have your page working if it is disabled
or at least give a link to go to plan of site

<noscript>
Your javascript is disabled, please enable it
or go <a href="plan.htm">here</a>
</noscript>

script tries to execute, creates an error.
NOSCRIPT is not rendered, JS is enabled, but JS is temporarily disabled
due to the user saying they don't want to continue executing scripts.

Your solution doesn't solve that problem.

Lost, I didn't see there were so much answers.
Sorry, I'll try to do no more do it :-/

Ha! it's that the trouble ?
Is there really a problem if user decides to go away ?
Certainly he is not really interested.

or ...
do smaller (or non bugged) scripts on several pages ?

Yes, but I already said that.

Interesting philosophy. "My webpage is broken so people who can't use it
leave and spend the money elsewhere".
Certainly he is not really interested.
Or, s/he has enough sense to change to a website that employs competent
programmers.

Nah, just put the content on the page, have JS change it.
