Description

The <noscript> HTML tag is used to provide alternative content or instructions for web browsers that do not support JavaScript or have JavaScript disabled. When a user's browser lacks JavaScript support, the content within the 'noscript' tag is displayed instead. This tag is valuable for ensuring that critical functionality or important information is still accessible to users with non-JavaScript-capable browsers, thereby enhancing the accessibility and usability of a website. It is typically employed in conjunction with JavaScript to create a fallback mechanism for users who rely on less capable browsers or have intentionally disabled JavaScript for security or other reasons.
