Perhaps on one percent of all pages, but that is all.  And pages should
still work _without_ Javascript; anything done by scripting should be an
enhancement, not a necessary part of the page.

The idea of Web design is to come up with something that doesn't require
control of the user interface, since by definition the Web does not
force a specific user interface for browsing.  If you have to force the
window to a certain size or compel the user to download active content
just to see the page, you have a problem in your design.
