compatibility be? I been scared to include a lot of Javascript into my
sites because I wasn't sure how many people would allow it, but it
seems most major companies are using Javascript for at least form
checking and alerts now a days.

My traffic ratios are
62% IE6
1% IE7
0.4% IE 5.5
31.3% Firefox, mostly 1.0.7 and above
0.2% Netscape, 5.2 and 7.0 each taking equal amounts
0.9% Safari
2.6% unknown
the rest are small portions of each

Please let me know because I would really like to add dynamic
adding/removing of content via AJAX is like 95%+ of the world will
support it. I do not however want to loose customers because they can
not use my site, just to make it more appealing.


I think you can count on a very high percentage of JS
support.

But JS support does not imply that your Ajax will always work.
