As long as you're meeting your business goals and not frustrating blind people, you're doing it right, JavaScript or no JavaScript.

There is no reasonable argument for going out of ones was to cater for non-js users. It's on by default in every browser. If a user turned it off for whatever reason they they'll know to turn it on again if they need to.

You can't easily index javascript sites.

With javascript it's not a document, it's an application.

If you are writing an app, then sure, use javascript, and don't worry about it (even if you could do it server side, I rarely see the point).

But if you are writing a document then you should at least have a fallback, and reserve javascript for less important "flair".
