[thelist] IE and the NOSCRIPT tag

Thu Apr 8 21:45:08 CDT 2004

Kind of a hack, but try this - 

Define a style called .jsHidden, like so:

.jsHidden
{
 display: none;
}

Put a JS function in your page like so:

function hideOnLoad(v_tagName) {
 tagsToHide = document.getElementsByTagName(v_tagName);
 for (i=0; i<=tagsToHide.length; i++) {
  tagsToHide[i].className="jsHidden";
 }
}

and then - <body onload="hideOnLoad('input')">

If JS isn't enabled, it'll never run, and your tags will stay visible.
Otherwise, they're hidden.  I guess it's one way around it.. 

Good luck,
Dan

I've been fighting all day with an issue involving IE and the noscript tag.

In IE the following code 

<snip>
<noscript><input type="text" name="something" value="hi" /></noscript>
</snip>

Displays the text box regardless of whether javascript is enabled or
disabled.  It seems to do this with most any element other than straight
text.

Has anyone had any experience with this or have any ideas?
