In-Depth Information
Name
noscript
Synopsis
<noscript> . . . </noscript>
Provides alternate content when a script cannot be executed. The content of this element may
be rendered if the user agent doesn't support scripting, if scripting support is turned off, or if
the browser doesn't recognize the scripting language. When
noscript
appears in the
head
of
a document and scripting is disabled, it may only contain
link
,
style
, and
meta
elements.
Notes
noscript
is not to be used in the XML syntax of HTML5 because the element relies on an
HTML parser.
