It just seems like something that would be really useful when developing server-side code. If you know that the browser won’t be using javascript from the server-side, you could easily accommodate the user. Or if you just felt like it, redirect them to a page that says ‘hey… we need you to use javascript for our application’ etc.
Does anyone know why this is?
See the
<noscript>tag, here.I know it’s probably not ideal (I don’t have enough experience with it to pick it apart) but it certainly gives us enough flexibility to degrade somewhat gracefully.
