The <noscript> Tag (XHTML Reference)
Introduction
The <noscript> tag can be used define an area which
will only be displayed when the script cannot be run. This can happen when the
browser does not recognize the scripting language or when scripting is disabled
in the browser. Some users disable the javascript option in the IE and in that
case you could show a message in the <noscript> tag. Note that if you
want to disable javascript on your local system you have to apply the following
settings:
Tools->Internet Options->Security Tab bar->Custom
Level->Disable Active scripting (at the end of the list). However this only
works for pages, which are called from the Internet not for local pages. To
apply the changes and to disable it locally please read the article KB182569.
Example
<script type="text/javascript">
document.Write("Javascript
is enabled!")
</script>
<noscript>
<h1>Sorry
but javascript is not enabled in your browser</h1>
</noscript>
</head>
<body>
