I know it's kinda stupid but is it possible? There are some people who do disable javascript which would kind of screw up your site if it has AJAX in it. What can you do to counter this?

Nothing, it requires client side scripting, in this case Javascript.

I read that RoR has some built in AJAX commands....could those work?

In case you are referring to Ruby on Rails, this is a framework (or library as it was called in the good old days) for Ruby and processed on the server. It might offer functions to process such requests but if the client doesnt support it they will never be sent.

Hm, I see....thanks. :D

The J in AJAX stands for Java-Script. If you worry about visitors with disabled java-script, then you will have to create pages, which will work with and without. Technically it is possible.

I would expect any good AJAX library to degrade gracefully and use traditional server-side processing when the visitor has javascript disabled. Google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ajax+library+degrade).
