The most obvious thing would be to use code like this in a web page:

<.img src="foo.gif"/>
<.script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<.img src="bar.gif"/>')
</script>

foo.gif would be accessed by all image-enabled browsers, bar.gif would only 
be accessed by image and javascript enabled browsers. Comparing the log 
file entries for the two would enable you to get a ratio.

There are lots of problems with this of course. It's left as an exercise to 
the reader to find some :-)
