Support for Javascript in the browsers

By default, Javascript is enabled and supported by all the browsers.

However, website visitors can disable Javascript if they want to.

Although disabling Javascript is rare, as responsible web developers, we should always account for visitors who disable Javascript and try to make sure that the important content and functionality of our website are accessible to them.

You might think it's too much work but it is important.

For example, without Javascript, most of the gmail.com functionality is out of place.

So, when someone visits gmail.com by disabling Javascript in their browser, it tells them that their standard view requires Javascript.

But Gmail doesn't stop you from accessing the emails or composing them.

It will still provide all the important functionality you need to work on your email needs.

It is just that interface is a bit sluggish with no fancy stuff.

The Conclusion

Javascript is the only web technology that can add interactivity to web pages.

It can play really with HTML/CSS.

And this is why Javascript is unique and awesome.
