JavaScript can be very helpful, but there are a couple of problems
associated with it:
- The browser may not support it (Lynx, KDE browser)
- The browser may have a broken implementation of it ( IE <= 3.0 )
- The user may have it disabled
So I would use JavaScript in the following situations:
- When I can dictate the browser choice/configuration to the user
- When I do not care about 5-10% or so of the users that use
non-standard browser configurations
