HTML <noscript> tag

The <noscript> tag is used to provide alternative content to be displayed if the user is using a browser that does not support scripting or if the user has disabled scripts in their options in a browser that would otherwise support scripting. If neither of these conditions apply, then the content provided by the <noscript> tag will be ignored.

You can display anything you want with <noscript> (text, links, images, etc.)

This tag has no attributes specific to it.

Standard attributes

Output if the browser supports Javascript:

Here is some text

Output if the browser does not support Javascript:

Your browser does not support Javascript!!!!!!!!

Tips & notes

Place scripts on your pages using the HTML <script> tag.

The <noscript> tag should come right after the <script> tag in your code. This isn't required, but is a good practice since you are placing two tags that complement each other right next to each other.

Learn about scripting in detail in our Javascript tutorials and VBscript tutorials sections.
