noscript Tag 2

[glenmac]

Hi I've put a noscript tag on my site for those that have scripting turned off. I have a meta redirect tag in the noscript.

<noscript><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://www.lantzvillecomputers.com/DefaultFF.htm"></noscript>

It works fine. I have the tag in the body of the document. Is this correct syntax? Or should I put the noscript tag in the head of the document? I'm confused as I know a meta redirect is supposed to be in the head and the noscript should be in the body ( I think)

AFAIK, noscript can be in either the head or the body - in the same was a script can be in either the head or the body.

Hope this helps,
Dan

P.S Good to see you've fixed the Fx version of your website - I visited the other day and was getting numerous JS errors with the 'sliding' menu.

Thanks Dan, I searched everywhere with no results. I'll put it in the head to save loading time. A star for you.

it's also worth noting that if you place it in the body, especially at the botom, OPERA will display it even though JS is enabled.

It's a stupid little bug Opera seems to suffer from, i got round it by merely adding some JS to hide it again, which obviously will work if JS is on, and display the noscript content otherwise, which is the desired effect.

Interesting 1DMF, Hmm wonder if it's worth the extra codng. Opera = 2.2% of the market last I looked.

Well if you think 2.2% of 100 million users isn't worth 1 line of code

document.getElementById('noscript').style.display='none';

Who am I to argue!
