I think it is very useful for enhancing a site, particularly where forms are used. However, I do realize that you cannot possibly rely on your audience to have scripting enabled. Indeed, <a href="http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/887861" title="United States Emergency Preparedness Team" rel="nofollow">US-CERT</a> has just issued an advisory warning of an <acronym title="Internet Explorer">IE</acronym> vulnerability when scripting is enabled. They advise all IE users to disable scripting! Also, most handheld devices, as well as some PC browsers, do not even support JavaScript at all. I do avoid traditional ways of writing scripts. Most of those free scripts available on the web were written before XHTML came around, and are largely incompatible with XHTML documents. Well, I am just learning the new, standard way of scripting.
