Does anyone have any good statistics on how many users that use JAWS 9
or above have JavaScript enabled/disabled. I am just trying to get some
numbers.
Thanks

Proportionally speaking, of course.

Jaws cannot be reliably identified so any stats would likely be pure
guesses - or based on direct surveys. That said, I would venture to guess
that many more Jaws users have javascript enabled than able-bodied folks.

I have never seen numbers about this. I would guess that the
majority of users leave their browsers at their default setting.

All of them have javascript enabled as they generally use IE or Firefox.
Lynx is harder than other things to use with JAWS.

Jaws cannot be reliably identified so any stats would likely be pure
guesses - or based on direct surveys. That said, I would venture to
guess that many more Jaws users have javascript enabled than able-bodied
folks.
