Not a lot
Actually what you could try, is taking the function call out of the href and sticking it in an onClick, and putting the original URL in the href. That may work but not tried it E.I don’t think that many people surf with JS off anymore – my site relies heavily on it for links etc so i hope not
Think i might research that one.EDIT: Ok well it seems there is no definitive answer. I see reports varying from 3% to 12% but that covers the last two years. Most seem to think 3% to 5%. Did find a neat way of finding out though. Get a free javascript counter on your page and a non-js counter (maybe SSI) and compare the difference in hits over a time-period.
DOUBLE EDIT: Ok sussed how to do this. This is quite fascinating actually but anyway, here’s a testpage which does what we want fro Javascript enabled browsers AND sends other browsers to the original URL.

Engineer: thanks for bringing this up. It leads to a wider issue:
I use javascript window.open() commands to direct my users to casinos and popup information on the site, mainly cos i popup in another browser window. As it stands, it means that up til now I have been losing maybe 5% or even more of my potential players who have JS turned off.
By applying the technique in the Testpage2 above, anyone else doing this can now make sure that both types of user get where you want them too
