I read this article [Unobtrusive JavaScript with jQuery][1] and I noticed these points in the slide page **11** - some companies strip JavaScript at the firewall - some run the NoScript Firefox extension to protect themselves from common XSS and CSRF attacks - many mobile devices ignore JavaScript entirely - screen readers **do** execute JavaScript but accessibility issues mean you may not want them to I did not understand the fourth point. What does it mean? I need your comment and responses on these points. Is not using JavaScript and switching to libraries like jQuery worth it? [1]: http://simonwillison.net/static/2008/xtech/
