<noscript> HTML noscript element

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The <noscript> HTML element defines a section of HTML to be inserted if a script type on the page is unsupported or if scripting is currently turned off in the browser.

Attributes

This element only includes the global attributes.

Usage notes

The <noscript> element represents its children differently depending on if scripting is enabled:

If scripting is disabled the <noscript> element represents its children as HTML content.
If scripting is enabled, the <noscript> element represents its children as text.

Metadata content, flow content, phrasing content.

When scripting is disabled and when it is a descendant of the <head> element: in any order, zero or more <link> elements, zero or more <style> elements, and zero or more <meta> elements.
When scripting is disabled and when it isn't a descendant of the <head> element: any transparent content, but no <noscript> element must be among its descendants.
Otherwise: flow content or phrasing content.
