noscript

[Rick Bull]

I was just reading through the HTML 4.01 specs on script, and it said:

The content of a NOSCRIPT element should only be rendered by a script-aware user agent in the following cases:

• The user agent is configured not to evaluate scripts.
• The user agent doesn't support a scripting language invoked by a SCRIPT element earlier in the document

But if you do something like this:

<script type="text/vbscript"><!--
  document.writeln("<p>Hello From VBScript<" & "/p>")
  document.close()
'--></script>
<noscript><p>Hello from plain old HTML.</p></noscript>

No browser seems to diplay the noscript section. But it should, right?

Thanks for the reply. I had already submitted a couple of bug reports, but I doubt anything will get done Actually Opera does support the noscript element in this contect, but only if you provide a language attribute (which is not valid strict HTML). But at least it does something.
