Fallback content for users without JavaScript.
1Graceful Degradation
Anything inside <noscript> only renders when JavaScript is disabled. Use it sparingly for critical fallback messaging.

</noscript>2Put the element in context
A noscript message can explain a feature’s limitation when scripting is unavailable. It does not make an inaccessible scripted feature accessible on its own. Important public information should remain readable where practical, and the message should offer a useful alternative rather than only an error.
3Practice with a small page
Add a concise alternative contact link inside noscript for a script-dependent form. Disable JavaScript in your test browser and inspect the result. Keep the page’s explanation and navigation available even when the interactive enhancement is missing.
