How do you deal with users that have JavaScript turned off or is it not much of a concern.
 
I was wondering how you deal with structuring websites now if someone just happens to have JavaScript turned off.
I know people used flash fallback for instances where HTML5 wasn't supported. Do you use some kind of CSS fallback?
This is so the structure of the page doesn't fall apart in some instances.
HTML5 depends on JavaScript for some animations but if it's not enabled do you just do some kind of CSS or static image fallback, you probably do.

Cut to the chase... What kind of code do you use for this?

A better question is how to deal with people that have adblock on, like 50% of the net.

I will never tell.

Drop down menus, rollovers, and all of the stuff Javascript was used for in 1998 can and should be done with CSS today.

For a web page, as opposed to an application such as Google docs, the page elements should be in HTML and presentation in CSS.

That said, most people have some version of emacscript / javascript / jscript enabled. It's only needed for apps like Google docs, though, not for viewing pages, and can safely be used for supplementary functionality that isn't essential to the page.

Good thing about adblock is the users are so used to not being flooded with ads that when you do set pages up with ads that are adblock proof they notice them with curiosity :)

I'll venture that most surfers that are savvy enough to turn off their JavaScript also fall into the "Only idiots PAY for porn!" category, so take this into consideration when coming up with a redirect plan.

As a fact-check, look at your GA reports on members area traffic: what percentage of those paying customers have JS disabled? Sure, some may not have been able to join because of that fact (does your join page work with JS disabled?), but the point remains.
