title: AJAX & Disabled JavaScript. Do you worry?
body: <p>I'm new to PHP, AJAX, and databases.</p>
  
  <p>But I want to know what experiences programmers think and do. </p>
  
  <p>When using AJAX, do you worry about users who have JavaScript disabled?</p>
  
  <p>Do you have a backup solution? Or is the number of those who have JavaScript disabled so small that it isn't a concern?</p>

  <p>Wow I got a lot of opinions, which is good, but I think it's important for me to clarify a bit. </p>
  
  <p>I'm asking specifically in terms of AJAX in websites.</p>
  
  <p>When it comes to JavaScript in my websites, I work with the goal of using it to ENHANCE the experience of the user, but ensure that the core of the site will still function for users with JavaScript disabled. 
  But from my understanding of AJAX, it IS the core functionality is it not? It communicates with the server or database the way PHP does. So how do you make a fallback for that? Or do you?</p>
  
  <p>Again, if I'm mistaken about the role of AJAX, please forgive and enlighten me. </p>
