I hope you are not serious with this statement. If you develop websites, then the first thing you should do is making it work with nothing but HTML and CSS. If this is done, you can start adding JavaScript features, not the other way round. Having JavaScript enabled generally is a security and/or privacy risk. You should expect people who turn it off. If you don't, you do something wrong. Personally, I think that Wikia makes by far too much use of JavaScript. It causes major memory leaks because of flawed JavaScript implementations in browsers. Since I'm using Wikia, the amount of required memory and in consequence the rate of browser crashes constantly increases with every new JS backed feature, not even speaking of page load times.
