It’s hard to find actual data on how many users have javascript disabled, but according to browser statistics like this one from w3schools.com, only about 5% of internet users have javascript disabled. It’s hard to validate these numbers since lot of software tracking packages, like Google Analytics, rely on javascript to capture data. As a result, visitors with javascript disabled are absent from many statistic reports.

For sites that we build and maintain, including 45royale.com, we want to have pages render well across as many browsers as possible without weakening the design. There are a lot of browser hacks available that we’ve used in the past to achieve this effect, but they aren’t nearly as robust and clean as this script. For us, we’d rather use a script like this to offer a great experience to 95% of internet users regardless of their browser vs. having to pair back on the design of a new site in order to appeal to that remaining 5% of users.
