I’m learning jQuery and am about to write some pages using intensively that library. I just learned that some user disable JavaScript on their browser (I didn’t even know that was possible and/or necessary).

Now, here’s my question: What happens to my web application if a user disable JavaScript? For instance, I’d like to display some screens using AJAX and commands such as ‘InsertBefore’ to bring in live a DIV that will display the result.

So, if JavaScript is disabled, I wonder what going to happen to all this work that relies on JavaScript?

I’m kind of lost.

Thanks for helping

    All what’s done in JavaScript won’t work. Some users disable it for security reasons, NoScript is an excellent example. You can try it yourself by removing the scripts from your page or installing the NoScript-plugin for Firefox.

    As a rule of thumb:

    1. Make the website working with only semantic HTML
    2. add the CSS
    3. add the JS

    But the website should be (almost) fully functional in stage 1.
