HTML `<noscript>` Tag

The <noscript> tag provides alternative content that is displayed in browsers that do not support scripts, or when the user has disabled script support. Otherwise, the browser ignores the tag and its content.

In HTML5 the <noscript> tag can be placed in the <head> and <body> elements. In HTML4 it can be used only in the <body> element. If the <noscript> is placed in the <head> tag, it must contain only the <link>, <style> and <meta> tags.

tip
You can use HTML comments to hide scripts from older browsers that do not support the <script> tag.

Syntax

The <noscript> tag comes in pairs. The content is written between the opening (<noscript>) and closing (</noscript>) tags.
