I'm moving from fully Flash sites to AJAX with jQuery etc. I see that handling the situation where the user has javascript disabled is given a lot of emphasis in books and tutorials on jQuery. Is it really that important? After all, if you've disabled javascript shouldn't you accept a limited result? Accessibility seems a valid reason, but how many screen readers can't handle javascript? Mobile and other devices that can't handle it are only a concern if your site is one that's likely to be of interest to a small set of users so do you need to worry about them?

 

Just wondering! Life would be a lot simpler if I could ignore the problem.
