@felgallAug 14.2006 — Even version one browsers from the dim distant past can handle noscript tags even though they don't know what the tags are supposed to be for. Any tag that a browser doesn't understand will be ignored and so the content of the <noscript> will be displayed in any browser that either doesn't understand noscript tags or which doesn't have Javascript enabled.

so that would be a highly effective means of communicate to people who do not have javascript

Yes, good point. Simply tell the user that he needs javascript to be enabled. If he woun't, it is his choise.

But perhaps the user has some disability that prevents the use of JavaScript. That's like expecting a blind person to choose to check the clock rathar than ask you for the time.

Let's say that you have some fancy JavaScript menu thing going on there. The NOSCRIPT element is there so that you can provide a script free list of all of the links. And in the worst case it can be used to provide a link to a script free version of the page.
