As always, the caveat for these stats is that the site you're working on
may well be different.  The only (free) place to get that type of stats
(that I know of) is thecounter.com:
http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2005/September/javas.php

However, I think their method of establishing JavaScript may have
changed, as there have been a couple of dips, e.g:
http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2005/May/javas.php

Given that they use JavaScript to gather the stats, you have to take
that with a pinch of salt. I'd still say it's important to have a fall
back; of the 3 browser I regularly use, my phone's JavaScript support is
non-existent! However, that's not strictly an accessibility issue.

Kind regards,
