I checked stats on my site (just my stuff, since the site actually has some
more techhie content elsewhere)-- about 86% of the last 500K+ hits were
MSIE, 12% Netscape/Mozilla. Most of the rest were bots, or things like
Scooter, Opera, etc. If I had to guess, I'd probably say maybe 10 people in
a hundred know what things like the Javascript settings do, and probably 1
in a hundred of *them* (maybe fewer, I dunno), actually bother to turn off
Javascript. So, 0.1% would be my guess?
Here at work ... [does math] ... about 0.04% of our clients have complained
that we require Javascript-- which actually translates to about 0.02% actual
end users.
Maybe I oughtta put up a hidden frame on all my pages that requests a 2nd
hit-counter page if Javascript is enabled and get a more accurate statistic :)
