One source I know of is www.thecounter.com/stats/ You might want to dive around in the site to work out exactly how they compile their figures, but the headline numbers they give are, for May 2003: Javascript 1.2+: 32815350 (86%) Javascript <1.2: 128196 (0%) Javascript false: 5170035 (13%) (Incidentally, I'm not sure why May 2003 is the most recent figure - have they stopped measuring?) Two other possible starting points: http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat_trends.htm and http://www.eleganthack.com/toolbox/browser-stats.htm - a list of links; apparently no longer maintained but still useful. Macromedia claim a 97.4% penetration of the Flash plugin as at June 2003 but of course they might be biased - see http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/flashplayer/penetration.htm l. There is a thread on this at http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum36/78.htm in which various people gave various figures, but generally in the 70 - 80% range.
