NOSCRIPT Special Notes:
- Use the NOSCRIPT tag with every script to ensure accessibility.
- Remember that many people turn off scripting in browsers for security. The NOSCRIPT tag will display in these instances as well.
- The NOSCRIPT tag can be used with any type of SCRIPT tag — it doesn’t have to be JavaScript.
- Think of the NOSCRIPT tag as alternative text for your scripts. It only displays if the script cannot execute.
