Yes very serious - so many IE users et al are savvy web browsers who
secure and protect with military efficiency their browsing experience -
no cookies, javascript, third party plugins ..and so on - of course
they also don't do any online shopping, read webmail, and numerous
other activites on the web, because all those sites have javascript, or
scripts that "do stuff" ... strange attitude - in purist terms I agree
on full compliance with accessibility - but in the real world things
aren't black and white, simply shades of grey!

yes it keeps arriving, all "we" are trying to do is stem the flow and
quantity.
I must agree with below that a php alternative is much prefered (by me
anyway)
but if you aren't a code fiddler etc, then a simpler javascript
alternative ...for now - just may be a "solution" that helps, albeit a
part time one...
always aim for compliance and accessability, we should all agree on
that, but just don't be too rigid and one sided imho.
