"What About Users Who Have JavaScript Turned Off?

Both of the above methods rely on JavaScript. A small percentage of visitors to your site may have disabled JavaScript in their browsers. The techniques suggested above will not work for these few users—they won't see your embedded content at all.

One thing to keep in mind is that many or most Internet Explorer users who have disabled JavaScript have also disabled support for ActiveX controls. Therefore, users who have disabled ActiveX have not been seeing QuickTime content displayed in Internet Explorer for Windows and the migration to JavaScript techniques for embedded content doesn't alter or affect their experience. You only need to be concerned about users who have disabled JavaScript, but have ActiveX enabled."
