My point was with regards to data validation. If you rely on js because everyone "should" have js turned on in "this day and age" you're opening yourself up to major security issues on the server-side. That was my only point. I wanted to make sure that he wasn't advocating client-side validation as the way to go. Client-side validation cannot be relied on. I turn off js because of ad tracking and user monitoring. I personally don't like to have doubleclick (or any other ad agency, aside from Google since I user their Analytics service myself) gain any benefit from knowing which sites I visit. It's annoying. > This isn't to say that our sites should fail miserably if the user > DOES disabled Javascript. Not only should it not fail miserably, it shouldn't fail at all. Search engines don't understand js so your navigation shouldn't rely on it either.
