All the CSS I know I’ve learned from sites such as sitepoint. Why on earth would anybody pay to own a book nowadays?

JT,you seem to be assuming that IE7 can replace IE6. It can not.

IE7’s securityimprovements are soley based on it’s connection to Vista. Companies and private persons are hardley going to run out and By Vista just to have IE7.

IE7 has yet to be annouced as a full version for XP. All talk is at this time of Beta versions. Once can assume thatif tested on XP then it will be available for XP… but that is not yet fact. The Beta is only available for XP. So at best XP and Vista users will have IE7, but everyone else will be using IE6 for years to come.

IE6 was the last version you can just download and install.

Midat – the school I went to for web design had JavaScript turned off, the teacher had to request our group be allowed to have so we could learn it. The securtiy company aswell as the international railway company I worked for all had JS turned off as well. So that is three i worked at personally.

@JT,

Maybe, but that is a big assumption …

Whatever the case maybe, we still have a couple of years before IE 7 becomes widely used.

As they security is the fear, they will upgrade there browser to IE7 (once released) or already be using a broswer with a better security record than IE

What Im try to say is once IE7 is release the number of user using IE6 with Javascript disabled would be small, if at all

Mostly for fear that their computers might get attacked by some script … I know, it makes no sense but a lot of people are worried about JavaScript.

The fact the browser makers gave them the option to shut it off doesn’t help …

I remember when they came out with that ability, I knew it was going to be trouble.

And why do they disable javascript?

JT,

Yes, but from last I heard, the stats show about 10% of the surfers out don’t have JavaScript.

Kyle, The sript is only required for IE to bring it up to standard, other browsers and agents will not be required to implement the script

I am yet to see a company that has javascript disabled, and if the company is concerned about security and disables javascript, they would also upgrade to IE7 once released, which again will not require the script (hopefully)

Then there the different types of user agents that do not support JavaScript either & browsers are only one form of user agent… and the companies that do not give the employees a choice and turn the JS off for security reasons as you say.
