Hello,
I am learning WWW technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP5). I am
programming websites using these technologies. I learnt that JavaScript
can be switched off in a browser. Should I consider such case? To tell
you the truth, usually I don't imagine how to create my websites without
JavaScript, so my websites will not work when JavaScript is disabled.
Maybe I should inform user (somehow) that he/she should turn JavaScript
on.
Please make it clear to me.

You should always design sites to work without script. This is not
just for the benefit of users who disable scripting, but for agents
(or organizations) that don't support scripting. Should make sense
without visual style as well, which is how blind people will
experience documents through a screen reader. And if it doesn't make
sense with *both* disabled, it won't make sense to search engines,
text browsers, etc.

Of course, most Web developers have a hard enough time making their
site properly in IE with everything enabled, so you'll see more bad
examples than good.
