I would just like to ask for peoples opinions regarding javascript.
Is it ok (anno 2010) to require javascript for people to access ones site? Or should all people to atleast passively be able to access the site to read content. Or should all javascript be completely unobtrussive?

What about compatibility regarding portable devices?

What do you think?

Just make sure you don't replace the important content with javascript (SEO).
And not too much anyway, makes you website slow to load.

(Mobile users will probarly need a javascript-free version.)

JavaScript is extremely prevalent in browsers nowadays. However, most sites shouldn't need it...

Very true. Messes up your SEO big time, not to mention it's a slight hassle to set up. Mobile devices... It would be a fail if there was JavaScript there..

iPhones have JavaScript. Android-phones have JavaScript. The leading dumbphone browser, Opera Mini, has JavaScript.

Opera Mini for iPhone really isn't cool. Still I'm not a fan of JS.

Opera Mini for dumbphone is awesome :D

Well, the zooming isn't. And it has no spellcheck.
